Join the Dinagsa Festival 2019

The Dinagsa is a weeklong celebration with the rhythmic beating of drums and honoring the Senor Sto. Nino (infant Jesus). performers are painted in black or covered with soot to portray an ''ati'' (one of the many indigeneous peoples of the Philippines).

The festival is packed with fun activities such as the Dinagsa Queen, the Ati-Atihan competition and the lamhitanay festival. it's one of the most awaited fiestas in the Province of Negros Occidental. The lamhitanay is a unique feature of the Dinagsa. all kinds of people (visitors or residents) in Cadiz City roam the streets to smother paint on each other's faces. (So prepare to get dirty, as saying ''no'' or getting angry at them is taken as an insult! if you don't like it, better stay at home. this isn't something you experience often, though, so just enjoy the festivities!).

Just a reminder though, wear anything you won't mind being ruined or stained by the paint.

Dubbed as Dinagsa Festival, was the brainchild of some of the members of the Samaria House Council of Cadiz City, a lay religious organization of the catholic church "Dinagsa" was coined after an event in the past where several whales were drifted on the shores of the said city: the word ''Dagsa'' means driftage. this is also why Cadiz City is tagged "The City of Whales''.
