The Dinagyang Festival is celebrated every fourth
weekend of January to commemorate the Christianization of the natives
and to honor the Holy Child Jesus. It is a very colorful parade coupled
with a dramatization in honor of the patron Saint - Sto. Niño. The
object of dramatized offerings and prayers amidst the cracking of drums
and shouts of "Viva Señor Santo Niño" and the thundering of "Hala Bira"
by the tribe members makes the celebration a lively one.
