Perya Games

Perya as it is known now, is said to be inspired from the Manila Carnival introduced by the Americans in the Philippines in the early 20th century. It featured spectacular parades, lavish shows, betting games, side shows from abroad and amusement rides. When the Manila Carnival ended, people thought of a way of imitating the different features of the said carnival. Amusement rides and local versions of side shows were patterned from the Manila Carnival. All of which were then brought by transient Perya to every towns they go.

Perya is a carnival, town fair and casino rolled into one. It is an essential highlight of Filipino fiestas for the past few decades. This showcase provides
entertainment to the town folks with its different features including rides, games and shows. It is a business, a livelihood for the Perya workers.

While the kids were off to the Ferris wheel (tsubibo in Filipino), carousel, bump cars, and flying swing, the grownups tried to double their money at the Bingo and gambling booths.
