San Carlos City Pintaflores Festival 2009 Schedule
Posted by on September 5, 2009
The City of San Carlos in Negros Occidental is now in full preparation as the annual Pintaflores Festival 2009 goes high gear this coming November. Pintaflores is an annual fiesta celebration in San Carlos City in Northern Negros Occidental in honor of the City’s Patron Saint, San Carlos Borromeo.
Pintaflores has always been in my wish list but due some other priorities, plans to visit San Carlos on its fiesta day has always been sidelined. But early this year, I had resolved to finally go to San Carlos, by hook or by crook.
As early as April, I have already bought my plane ticket to finally see the Pintaflores dancers perform on their home turf.
I have actually seen them peform several times, but sad to say, in other venues. Most notably, in Cebu Sinulog, where they never fail to amaze the crowds with their elaborate costumes. I have also seen them perform at the Aliwan Fiesta 2008 in Manila, Western Visayas Tourism Assembly 2008 which was hosted in Bacolod, and more recently during the Panaad sa Negros Festival of Festivals showdown.
Below is a draft schedule of the Pintaflores Festival 2009 sent by the Tourism office of San Carlos City. Updates will be posted once official schedule is already released.
