Filipino Heritage Night, August 31 with the A's!

The Oakland Athletics held its annual Filipino Heritage Night at the Oakland Coliseum Friday, August 3. Filipino pride was recognized with dance performances, food trucks serving traditional Filipino cuisine, cultural activities and community engagement in Champions Plaza.
