Pista Sa Nayon Returns to Mare Island on June 7th
Significance of Mare Island and Filipinos
Pista Sa Nayon’s signature event was relocated in 2022 to Mare Island, which shares a long, storied relationship with the Philippines and Filipino-Americans. In 1898, the U.S. Navy deployed ships from Mare Island to fight in the Battle of Manila Bay, eventually leading to the Philippines’ declaration of independence from Spain in June of that year. Many Filipinos would later be stationed at Mare Island before laying down roots in Vallejo by buying homes, raising families and starting businesses.
