BANGUS FESTIVAL
Dagupan City Pangasinan
The Dagupan Bangus Festival is a yearly event in Pangasinan first
initiated by Mayor Benjamin Lim in 2002. The festival aims at promoting
the city’s local bangus (milkfish) industry. In 2003, the Guinness Book
of World Records recognized the “Kalutan ed Dagupan” as the Longest Barbecue of the World. The event highlights include: the “Kalutan ed Dagupan”, where everyone is enjoined to partake the longest barbecue party; 101 Ways to Cook Bangus, where seasoned cooks showcase their talent preparing the succulent bangus in many distinctive delicacies; Gilon! Gilon! ed Dalan, a colorful street dancing competition depicting the bountiful harvest of bangus; and, the Bangus Rodeo, where bangus growers showcase their best products and sport their food-processing skills.
For 2011, expect to be once again “wow-ed” by this annual festival as
DagupeƱos welcome back the “Kalutan” to its original home in the main
streets of the city.
