SUMMARY:Battle of the Bamboo 2026: Pagsibol | Cheers to Our Youth
DESCRIPTION:Battle of the Bamboo\nDoors 4pm | Show 5:30pm\nAll Ages \nBattle of the Bamboo (BOTB) is a cultural dance showcase that has been hosted by Filipinos in Alliance (FIA) at the University of Illinois Chicago since 2003. Performers illustrate generational stories and retell them through a diverse collection of dances rooted in the Philippines. Now\, in 2026\, Filipinos in Alliance will be hosting our 23rd annual Battle of the Bamboo. This event has grown to attract thousands of spectators who attend to watch competing dance groups from high school and collegiate institutions\, as well as a handful of performing exhibition groups. We all come together via our shared love for Filipino culture. Filipinos in Alliance and the 2026 Battle Council are proud to present this year’s theme: “Pagsibol | Cheers to our Youth.”
