Festivals Around the World with BGC Passionfest

Geeks! Gear up for a weekend of culture and passions in BGC!

Bonifacio Global City will take you around the world with cultural celebrations and let you discover ways to live out your passions—whether it's arts, culture, food, music, dance, and more in this year’s BGC Passionfest with the theme The World is Here: Festivals Around the World.



The whole stretch of Bonifacio High Street will be more lively and colorful than ever as it transforms into four global dream destinations: our very own Philippines, Europe, Asia, and the United States with iconic decors such as banderitas, an Eiffel Tower installation, Chinese lanterns, and US flag-colored buntings. There will be activities for guests to take part in—such as games, workshops, exhibits, and colorful cultural presentations.

Get a Passionfest passport on hand and join the fun! Take part in the various treats offered by each block, including a chance to grab blended fruit juices from Filipino brand Locally; score fashionable pieces and unique finds at the bazaars of  Urban Pod, Mommy Mundo, and the Embassies of the Czech Republic  and Vietnam, among others; catch exhibits and a book launch, as well as witness performances - comic pantomime show, and short theatre plays; and also may learn how to make loads of arts and crafts from the Katipunan Weekend Market. Meanwhile, get some action going to a giant inflatable set courtesy of Color Manila, take part in bike sessions, or join rounds of fitness classes on kick aero boxing, yoga, and pilates led by Anytime Fitness.


Watch out for the BGCitizen Parade and Concert! Performances from young, homegrown musicians such as the soulful acoustic performer Syd Hartha, the funky-energetic IV of Spades and indie folk band The Ransom Collective.

“We are anchoring this year’s BGC Passionfest activities on the festivals around the world because these are great sources of creativity and energy. Through this, we would like to influence others of this vibe, and inspire them to pursue their interests,” said Sean Luarca, BGC’s Marketing and Community Relations Head.
