About Sip-N-Parol

October is Filipino American History Month!

Immerse in Filipino culture and learn how to create a parol. A parol is a Filipino ornamental lantern displayed during the Christmas season. It is a local adaptation of the Hispanic tradition of carrying small light sources during the nine-day Christmas Novena procession leading up to the midnight mass (called Simbang Gabi) in the Philippines. Expert partners from Jax Filipinos (School of Language and Culture) will guide participants in creating the parol ornament and larger completed parols will be available for purchase. Take home your own Philippine Christmas Lantern Ornament!

Admission includes:

Materials for creating your parol
Light refreshments (lumpia!)
Two drink tickets (wine and beer will be available; soft drinks for participants under 21).

Minimum age for participants is 15 years old.

This event is part of the MOSH Passport Series, which is focused on education and appreciation of the diverse cultures throughout Northeast Florida.
