Pista sa Nayon is Vallejo’s annual Philippine Independence Day festival, and the largest of its kind on the West Coast. This year’s main event was held on Mare Island, hence its theme: Where It All Began.

In this episode of “Bay Current”, we hear about the history of Filipinos in Vallejo and at Mare Island, and why it’s important, from the Filipino American National Historical Society Vallejo Chapter.
