President Marcos as well as ambassadors from at least eight countries are expected to witness this year’s Dinagyang Festival, which marks the return of its in-person celebration three years after physical activities had been limited due to the pandemic.
At least eight barangay-based tribes will be competing in the festival. These are Tribu Sagasa, Tribu Parianon, Tribu Panaad, Tribu Familia Sagrada, Tribu Molave, Tribu Ilonggohanon, Tribu Kanyao sang Baybayanon and Tribu Halimau.The 55th Dinagyang Festival, which runs from Jan. 20 to Jan. 22, will be held mainly at the city center, but other activities would be staged in Mandurriao district.
Fluvial and foot processions in honor of the Sto. Niño will be held on Jan. 20, followed by a grand religious “sadsad” and the Parade of Lights on Jan. 21. This year’s festival, which carries the theme “Iloilo Dinagyang 2023: Pasalamat kay Señor Sto. Niño,” will highlight the Ilonggos’ gratefulness to the Holy Child Jesus for his protection and guidance, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.
