Kultura 2012 was the first time San Miguel Beer has ever sponsored an event in Canada. And, it is the first time Kultura was held over two amazing weeks (last year it was over three days, and the five previous ones were a one-day affair). For the grand finale event, it is also the first time that we held the event outside of our Kensington Market home. And of course, who could forget another first: our focus on ADOBO!

In case you missed the 7th Annual Kultura Filipino Arts Festival, here’s a recap for you! Photos by Dwayne Fundano and Raenell “Toto” Javier.

Do you have photos from Kultura? We’d love to see them! Reply to this post with a link to your photos, or tag us on Facebook or mention us on Twitter!

Lamesa aims to push Filipino food to the mainstream and give it more recognition to thrive amongst the palates of Torontonians. As a new restaurant established this year, Lamesa is already getting a lot of buzz and Kapisanan sought out to learn more–about modern Filipino food and how Lamesa  plans to stand out in Toronto.
