West Side Fest 2025 | Exhibition Walkthroughs with Halo-halo

Exhibition Walkthroughs with Halo-halo
Saturday, July 12 and Sunday, July 13

Visit Stephanie Comilang: An Apparition, A Song during West Side Fest 2025—a three-day celebration of arts and culture on Manhattan’s West Side. On Saturday, July 12 and Sunday, July 13, the Filipino dessert halo-halo (“mix-mix”) will be served from 2–4pm, followed by exhibition walkthroughs at 4pm both days.

Made with colorful layers of shaved ice, purple ube ice cream, sweetened beans, coconut strips, jellies, and plantains, halo-halo evokes syncretic identities, shaped by Indigenous roots and colonial and diasporic influences. Halo-halo will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis while ingredients last.
