Dinagyang 2008 Schedule of Activities
Posted on October 17, 2007
The country’s top Tourism Event for 2006 and 2007 will once again unfold as the Iloilo Dinagyang Foundation has recently bared the schedule of Activities of the 2008 Iloilo City Dinagyang Festival.
There are new twists expected in the upcoming Festival. For the first time, the ati-ati contest, the highlight of the Dinagyang will no longer be held on a Sunday morning, but on the afternoon. This is to eliminate the long lull between the streetdance and the awarding ceremonies at night.

We take the pleasure to inform you that ours is a Cultural Group and Academy specialized in the Punjabi Folk Dances like (Bhangra, Giddha, Malwai Giddha and other folk dances) and are providing training to the kids and youths in Punjab, i.e. the northern region of India, which is known around the world for its good human values, relations and bravery. Our cultural group includes male as well as female members. Apart from this, we have been participating in different cultural festivals organized in India and abroad since long.
While surfing through internet, we came in contact with your site and noted that you are one of the organizers of cultural festivals being organized around the world. Since we feel that we are in the position to approach you directly to demonstrate our cultural specialties, if we are given a chance to perform in your country on your invitation, we are contacting you by this mail.
We are of the opinion that the cultural festivals being organized around the world are being proved to be a good source of culture exchange in between the different communities, nations and continents, which is really needed during this pace of human welfare, world peace and integration.
We hereby offer our consent to participate in the cultural festival to be organized by you in the future. We shall feel highly obliged if you kindly provide us the details of the forthcoming festival, if any and the formalities to be completed by us at our end for participation.
