Halandumon Festival is a Festival Worth Remembering

HALANDUMON FESTIVAL

The 1st June 18 Charter Day celebration of Bacolod City will be highlighted by the 1st Halandumon Festival, a street-dancing competition among the city’s barangay festivals.

The city’s newest tourist attraction, showcasing the festivals of Bacolod barangays, will be held at the Bacolod City Government Center Football Field on June 16, Sunday, at 2 p.m.

The Halandumon Festival,was intended to start in 2018 in time for the 80th Year celebration of Bacolod. “While we were not able to start it in our 80th year, it is now even more fascinating that we are beginning it also at the start of our 1st June 18 Charter Day celebration”. The Halandumon Festival will actively involve the barangays to make them feel they play this important role in uniting our people and harnessing their potentials while displaying their talents and creativity.

“Halandumon” is Hiligaynon for “memorable” or “worthy to be remembered.” Read More: https://www.sunstar.com.ph/article/1809416
