Gumawa Workshop: Filipino Parol

[gu-mah-wa] Workshop

LOCATION:

Westover Library in the LONGFELLOW ROOM

ALL ARE WELCOME! FREE EVENT!

It's our first year anniversary hosting our Gumawa Workshop! Join us and we will teach you how to create your own mini Filipino Parol. No experience needed—just come ready to get creative and get into the holiday spirit.

We’ll walk you through everything step-by-step, so whether it’s your first time crafting or you’ve been making things for years, you’ll fit right in. It’s the perfect way to tap into the warmth of Filipino culture and bring a little extra holiday cheer to your home.

And yes—we’ve got snacks covered! Enjoy some tasty holiday treats while you craft, chat, and hang out with the community.

We are collaborating with TOBY'S ICE CREAM with a special giveaway! The original Toby's Ice cream shop is located right next to Westover Library. Give them a visit after our workshop!
