The Philippine Expo 2025 returns to Ueno Park this June, spotlighting Filipino culture through three days of food, music and community. Running from June 6 to 8, the event offers a packed schedule of live performances, cultural showcases and culinary favorites, with free admission for all.

Now in its latest edition, the expo continues to build cultural bridges between Japan and the Philippines, bringing together international visitors, Tokyo locals and members of the Filipino-Japanese community. Guests can look forward to musical acts from both countries, including a special performance by Beverly on June 7 (ticketed). The “Little Philippine Expo” pageant and cultural dances round out the stage lineup.

Offstage, Ueno Park’s central plaza fills with food vendors serving up lechon, halo-halo, adobo and other Filipino staples. Merchandise stalls, information booths and casual workshops also provide a laid-back way to explore Filipino traditions and contemporary culture.
