Thank you for posting our schedule of events. Just a correction. The Main Festival Site including the Chopsticks alley will be located at North Capitol Road (beside the provincial lagoon) and not at the Capitol Shopping area anymore.
Further, we have 2 other event stages located along the Lacson Tourism strip. Road close from 5pm to 12mn will take effect on Feb 12 to 14, 2010 from 6th st Lacson to 22nd St. Lacson.
