Other towns and cities with significant Filipino communities include Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester, Bristol, Leeds, Southampton and Barrow-in-Furness, which is home to an extremely successful Filipino community, as well as being the country's largest for a town of its size.[9] Fiestas are held during July and August in various cities throughout the UK.
