Just letting everyone know that it's Manchester's barrio fiesta on 20th and 21st June at Heaton Park. A friend of mine is selling lechon! I and Joie will be going on the 21st so if you want to meet up, let me know.
Lets hope that the weather keeps up, last year it was a little muddy under foot, a sunny day would make the event much more enjoyable for all. We might be going, it will be a last minute decision I feel.
Thanks for the info. Not been to the Manchester barrio fiesta before but don't think we will be able to attend as its our daughters 1st birthday
I was hoping Halo could have done the honors in taking my beloved to the Fiesta, as I will be otherwise engaged at the Royal Highland Show in Edinburgh, this year.
I noticed on the Heaton Park website that no details are given on the Barrio Fiesta only that it is on, maybe would have attracted more punters if the organizers had posted the event list http://www.heatonpark.org.uk/HeatonPark/What_To_See__Do/Whats_On/
the organisers don't normally have any invited celebrity as they tend to feature local talents.. same as last year's.. I just saw this on Phil. Embassy site.. http://philembassy-uk.org/filipino-community-events/barrio-fiesta-manchester-2015/
There will be one or two celebrities going if the British Filipino troop turn up, maybe we could do a line dance or something whilst eating our pork butty
