The PASINAYA festival was held last March 16, 2014 at the CCP. Now on its 10^th year, it has attracted thousands to appreciate Filipino music, dance, theater, award winning short films and even food. CCP Artistic Director Chris Millado described, “The PASINAYA is a multi-arts festival so it involves all the arts. Not only the 7 arts but festivals, street dances, markets, food trucks and even popular entertainment at some point.”

The success of the fest has expanded to include Metropolitan Museum of Manila, 1335 Mabini, Mabuhay Restop, Bahay Tsinoy, NCCA Gallery, Casa Manila, Museo Pambata, National Art Gallery, Museum of the Filipino People.

What the PASINAYA does according to Millado is build momentum for other events as well, “Now we even have Museums and exhibits. Of course through out the year we have genre specific festivals, orchestra festival, dance festival, guitar festival. This builds audiences to these specialized festivals.”
