| January 5, 2012 | 2 Comments

Here are the list of activities lined up for Iloilo’s Dinagyang Festival 2012 celebration.

This year’s edition will be one of its kind because of the change in its traditional carousel parade route. The first performance stage will still be at the Freedom Grandstand. From there on there will be two other stages along the way before the final performance at the Iloilo Sports Complex in Lapaz district which can accommodate more than double the number of spectators as compared to the previous four stages within downtown area.
