Iloilo Dinagyang Festival 2010

I survived Dinagyang 2010! This blog entry will be all about pictures. enjoy!

January 22, 2010, Friday: Fireworks display at SM City parking lot. with me were my friends Don and Dona.




January 23, 2010, Saturday: I left my camera because I was in a hurry to be at the kiosk. we started drinking and eating at the food festival by 8pm.

January 24, 2010, Sunday: Dinagyang competetion. I went to the kiosk around 10 am, so I only took a few photos of the participating tribes. and the same time, we sell Dinagyang souvenirs, and food as part of our marketing course.

and the crowd was crazy, it was unbelievable. thousands of people went off the streets for the food festival, dancing, drinking and such. It was all fun! I really heart Iloilo!



Dinagyang Tumblers we sell at the kiosk.

Dinagyang Fever 2010

The Dinagyang fever is on! I'm really in a festive mood - very much excited for this event. This festival is celebrated by the Ilonggos every the 3rd Sunday of January, in honor of Santo Nino. The highlights of the event will start this coming Friday, January 22, 2010. There will be fireworks, food festival, and parties everywhere with big names in the movie and music industry hyping everything. Plus, candidates for the 2010 election will surely show up hehehe. *rolls eyes*

And since I'm a marketing student, our council will hold a few kiosks downtown. We will be selling souvenirs, foods and beverages. No liquors and cigarettes as per advised by the Dinagyang committee. I don't want to expound more on that, because it might complicate things. lol.

I will leave you a few photos I took out of the 18 competing tribes (including a few people, and me hehehe) for the Dinagyang competition. These photos were shot during the Opening Salvo/Street dancing on January 15, 2010. It was raining that time, so I think I only took photos of the 13 tribes.
