PENAFRANCIA FIESTA 2009
New York, New Jersey & Connecticut
September 11 to September 19, 2009


“It must be the same date, rain or shine, that fiestas had been recalled in many states and cities across the continental United States. With all the Bicolanos and their respective organizations from California to Chicago to Hawaii to Virginia to New York, one might wonder how many Filipino-Americans paid tribute to the patroness of the Bicol region.

As the chills of autumn set in and the soft slanted rays of the sun become more apparent in the early evening, a pork roast, a bottle of cold San Miguel beer, and line dancing can well define the Penafrancia fun.“
----Penafrancia in America by Augusto F. Mesia, M.D.
