Dinagyang Festival 2007
Posted by on January 30, 2007
As expected, thousands of tourists, both foreign and local drove to Iloilo City for the annual Dinagyang Festival. The fiesta is held every 4th Sunday of January in honor of the Santo Niño.
20 tribes participated in the ati-ati contest, the highlight of this grand festival. The streetdance startedat 8 in the morning and lasted until 1 in the afternoon.
In my opinion, I guess this year’s Dinagyang is one of the best. The costumes are just so spectacular! The choreography’s amazing. I have also seen several tribes changing costumes and headresses during the performance.
The Dinagyang Festival won the 1strunner up title in the 2006 Aliwan Festival.
