Dinagyang Festival 2006 is now officially open!
This Iloilo City Mayor Jerry P. Treñas declared in front of the excited audience during the festival's launching at SM City Activity Center last Friday, October 28.
The launching signifies the start of all the promotional activities for Dinagyang 2006 festival which promises to be a grand one, according to Ben Jimena, executive director of Iloilo Dinagyang Foundation Incorporated (IDFI).
The launching activity started with a motorcade around the city participated in by the IDFI board of directors and all members of the various working committees, the tribe managers, tri-media and sponsors.
Jimena disclosed that several changes would be implemented in next year's Dinagyang which will surely improve the celebration. One of which is in the ati-ati contest which will only be made under one category.
Aside from the usual Ati-ati tribe and Kasadyahan competitions, concerts, food festival, exhibits and sports tournaments, new and exciting activities lined-up for Dinagyang 2006, he said.
The IDFI headed by Lee Chuan was designated by City Mayor Jerry Treñas, as this year’s host organization that will administer and operate the holding of the celebration.
Next year's festival banners the theme 'Healing through devotion to Sr. Sto. Niño.'
