One of our most-attended annual activities, the PAMANA Summer Picnic gathers our community in a potluck setting to celebrate Filipino culture through traditional dances, music, and games.

We require attendees to RSVP. Exact venue within Madison will be announced only to those who registered. Note that we are moving to a different location this year.

Halo-halo and Lechon

Due to popular demand, PAMANA will continue to offer these two Filipino favorites.

Both food items are available at very reasonable prices:

• $22: Lechon (1 pound) and large halo-halo (with ice cream)
• $13: Lechon (1 pound)
• $10: Large halo-halo (with ice cream)

Note: Advance ordering is part of the registration process. We will not sell these food items onsite during the picnic.

All proceeds go to PAMANA operations and programs, including scholarship and social services.

Special Benefits for PAMANA Members

We like to pamper our supporters, so here are a few special benefits that PAMANA members will receive during the picnic.

Free Bingo Cards

Yes, you read that right! As a way of thanking our officially listed PAMANA members, bingo cards will be given for free for those with family membership (4 cards) or individual membership (2 cards).

Note: We will not sell bingo cards for the event.

Free Culver's Frozen Custard

Each PAMANA member (individual membership or primary registrant of family membership) will get a free cup of Culver's Frozen Custard during the picnic!
