The Philippine Dance Troupe of Ottawa (PDTO), along with the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Parish, is hosting a family-friendly NEW YEAR’S EVE (NYE) CELEBRATION on December 31st starting at 6PM at 321 Cody St, Vanier.

There will be:

This is a fundraising event that will provide an opportunity for our members to showcase the Filipino dances they have learned as well as strengthen the Filipino culture within our community. This joint fundraiser will not only aid in the church’s fundraising efforts but also help PDTO finance a special showcase on June 29, 2024 to celebrate its 40th anniversary.
To further the fundraising efforts, there will be a 50/50 draw and a cash bar that will be available for non-alcoholic beverages.
