THE GRAND CELEBRATION OF A COLORFUL LIFE

DINAGSA FESTIVAL OF CADIZ CITY

<<-- BEFORE AND AFTER –>>

 

 

 

The Dinagsa Festival of Cadi527241_3385803037479_1674681107_nz City is celebrated yearly on the 4th Sunday of January. This is similar to the Sinulog Festival of Cebu - a celebration in honor of the Santo Nino.

This festival is one of the most awaited fiestas in the province because of the fun-filled activities like the Dinagsa Queen, Ati-Atihan competition, and the Lamhitanay Festival.

The highlight of the festival is the colorful and radiant Ati-Atihan competition to be held  at the PNU to City Park to the Public Plaza.  This competition is considered as one of the most entertaining to watch.

One of the most unique activities in the festival is the Lamhitanay Festival  where people roaming around the streets smother and wipes paint among each other. This is not something you experience often. The Lamhitanay Festival adds more color to the festival and the people.

My team and I went to Cadiz and experience this fun festival, we ate, joined the merry making and street party and of course also blend with the locals in spreading colors all over the town. We enjoyed it although the sun is really scourging hot.

Cadiz City invites the residents and tourists to experience the colorful and vibrant Dinagsa Festival.This is one festival you should not miss.
