Vancouver’s Lapu Lapu Day festival returns with focus on healing after April attack

January 7, 2026

Filipino BC has announced the 2026 Lapu Lapu Day Festival in Vancouver will go ahead nearly a year after the devastating vehicle attack that killed 11 people and injured dozens more.

The organization says it recognizes “the community’s shared grief” and notes the planning for this year’s event in April has a focus on “remembrance and healing” and will include at least one memorial gathering.
