EVENT

Aliwan Fiesta

April 13-14

CCP Complex, Roxas Blvd., Pasay City

Since its inception in 2003, Aliwan Fiesta has managed to gather the country's most talented street dancers - and the most beautiful maidens - to represent the best festive traditions in the country's different regions.

Now on its 10th year, the event continues to be an annual showcase of cultures from across the archipelago, and an anticipated grand display of Filipino talent, beauty and creativity.

Initially organized by listed radio network Manila Broadcasting Com/ (MBC) as a visual extravaganza for the Christmas season, the Aliwan Fiesta has evolved into what is touted as the biggest tourism draw in Metro Manila during summer.
