The Aurora History Museum and the Aurora Office of International and Immigrant Affairs celebrate Aurora’s vibrant Filipino community with the new exhibition “Mosaic of Cultures: Aurora’s Filipino Community.” Opening Tuesday, April 21, at the Aurora History Museum, 15051 E. Alameda Parkway.

This exhibition is part of the “Mosaic of Cultures” series, which promotes understanding of Aurora’s culturally diverse populations while incorporating the voices of those local communities into the city’s history. For the creation of the exhibition, the Aurora History Museum conducted a community outreach campaign to capture the perspective of the Filipino people in Aurora and receive crucial feedback on how they wanted to be represented in this unique exhibit.

The Filipino community in Aurora represents a rich tapestry of traditions, customs and cultural practices. From vibrant festivals to traditional music and dance, the Filipino community has added a unique and colorful dimension to the cultural fabric of the city. The exhibition will allow residents and visitors to learn about and appreciate the diverse cultural heritage. The exhibition will run through April 2027.

Join us for our opening celebration on April 25th! From 4-8 p.m. we will have Filipino music, dance and food to welcome in our new exhibit and community partners. This event is free and tickets are required. Opening Celebration for Mosaic of Cultures: Aurora's Filipino Community Tickets, Saturday, April 25  •  4 PM - 8 PM | Eventbrite
