Pasinaya 2026 Offers Free Shuttle Tours to 19 Galleries & Museums
Back for its 20th year, the Pasinaya Festival 2026 ushers in Art Month on Feb. 7 and 8, 2026 with a lineup of exciting events and new venue partners.
As the largest multi-arts festival in the country, Pasinaya is all about engaging Filipinos in shaping the future of the Philippine’s creative landscape. Guided by this year’s theme: “Paglikha sa Kinabukasan,” CCP is bringing the festival closer to communities nationwide by adding additional regional venues that will encourage broader public participation.
“We are pleased to expand the festival to additional partner venues across Metro Manila and the regions, enabling wider public participation in artmaking and appreciation. As CCP Pasinaya marks its 20th edition, the festival continues to offer new experiences even for its long-standing audiences,” said CCP President Kaye C. Tinga.
The festival is highlighted by creative workshops, live performances by performing arts groups and companies, and a lively marketplace where visitors can explore a diverse mix of food stalls, artisanal treats, and handcrafted goods, all the while supporting local vendors and entrepreneurs.
Another major highlight at this year’s celebrations is the Paseo Museo Hop-on, Hop-off Curatorial tours, which span 19 museums and galleries across Manila. This service is completely FREE to all registered festival goers and is provided by the Museum Foundation of the Philippines. The shuttle departs from the Paseo Museo terminal on Vicente Sotto Street.
