UP Diliman Arts and Culture Festival
The UP Diliman Arts and Culture Festival is an annual celebration of the Campus, spearheaded by the UPD Office of the Chancellor through the UPD Office for Initiatives in Culture and the Arts (UPD-OICA) in commemoration of the National Arts Month and the historic exodus of the University campus from its site in Manila to Diliman.
The tradition is more than a decade old, and has become the ultimate venue to showcase not only the creativity and academic excellence of our constituents, but also to share with the nation UP Diliman’s wealth of talents, inspiration, resources and its leadership in culture and the arts.
