The only thing that has changed with The Pintados Kasadyaan Festival is the date.. It used to be June 29 Every year but this year they are moving it earlier to the 27th of June, 2 days earlier than the usual date which has been observed for several years now.

He likewise disclosed part of the provincial government’s thrust is to develop the province’s many cultural richness through the formation of these festivals, which he also acknowledged as one of the province’s plus factor in increasing tourism in this part of the country.

Last year’s winners in the Pintados-Kasadyaan Festival, the Buyugon Festival of Abuyog and the Alikaraw Festival of Hilongos was  among the 24 contingents to the prestigious Aliwan Festival in Manila last week.

NOTE: CEBU PACIFIC ZERO FARES travel period starts June 29 (too bad they moved the festival to June 27!) but if you want to come back on the 29th, all you have to pay for are the taxes!
