Explore the captivating charm of Iloilo City, renowned for its majestic century-old mansions and rich cultural traditions. As the only city in the country awarded as UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy in the country, we take pride in offering a culinary journey like no other.
However, the heart of our city beats strongest during the Dinagyang Festival— one the country’s premier festivals and best tourism events. Come and join us in honoring our patron saint, Senor. Sto. Nino and witness the world-class performances of the Dinagyang Tribe warriors, revel in our vibrant parades, and dance to rhythmic drum beats in our streets.
Dali na, Mag-dagyang kita! The City of Love eagerly awaits your presence for a truly unique and unforgettable festival experience.
