Banate, Iloilo is celebrating the bounty of its seas and tourism through Kasag Festival on Dec. 15 to 23, with the tribal dance competition today, Dec. 21.

This annual event of food and fun starring of course, the blue crab is also every visitor’s chance to explore the town, its waterfront with activities on land and by water in and around the area.

Crabbing is part of Banate’s heritage, and crab feasts are a favorite local tradition. Heaps of blue crabs (now red, after steaming), are piled high on newspaper-covered tables and eagerly devoured in residential backyards, in local restaurants and picnic sites.

Kasag Festival began in 2007 to market its popular industry: Blue Crab, a well-known and popular food among Ilonggos. It is organized and produced annually by the municipal government for the benefit of the residents of Banate. The festivity is a time for the community to celebrate the abundant resources that they receive from the sea.  Read More:  https://thedailyguardian.net/life-style/banate-celebrates-food-and-fun-with-the-10th-kasag-festival-chevrolet-philippines-opens-new-iloilo-showroom-a-all-smiles-with-waffle-time/
