Pindangan Festival is the celebration of the  Founding Anniversary of San Fernando as a City ratified during a plebiscite on  March 20, 1998 subsequent to Republic Act 8509, converting the municipality into a  component city of La Union on February 13 that same year.

Welcome to the Pindangan Festival 2010 Grand Street Parade Competition. More than 30 contenders showcased the best their schools, barangays and civic clubs can offer. The competition were divided into 3 categories ; Category A – for Elementary Schools, Category B – High Schools and Colleges, Category C – Barangays and Civic Clubs.

With the Motiff/Theme “BOTANICAL” (floral designs with emphasis on Neon Pink, Neon Green, and Neon Orange colors) the contenders used indigenous and recyclable materials for their costumes.

The participating teams danced all throughout the parade route, until they reach the glorietta in front of the town plaza. They compete again for the Production Number to the same music they danced during the parade, provided by the organizers.   Read more:  Sanfernandocity.gov.ph

Basic Education Schools  up to the tertiary level compete in street dancing.

It was a delight to see students clad in colorful bamboo-inspired costumes signifying the City’s One-Town-Product (bamboo).  Read More: http://xamwhere-out-there.blogspot.com/2013/04/pindangan-festival-san-fernando-la-union.html
