Grand Parade of Lights, fireworks display and musical performances highlight annual township-wide celebrations
Megaworld's Iloilo Business Park township is all geared up as Iloilo celebrates the world-renowned Dinagyang Festival 2020, staging a lineup of fun-filled festivities and spectacles.
As Iloilo's biggest festival soars to greater heights with its grandest edition yet, Iloilo Business Park once again positions itself as the newest destination for more exciting activities that will exude the vibrancy of the Ilonggo way of merrymaking. Revelers will be treated to an array of activities that capture the rhythm, colors, and flavors of Iloilo.
For the third year in a row, the most-anticipated Dinagyang Grand Parade of Lights will brighten up the entire stretch of Megaworld Boulevard, with bigger and grander floats expected to illuminate to the 72-hectare township.
Starting from Diversion Road, the night parade of lighted floats will culminate at the Megaworld Iloilo Business Park, where judges will evaluate participating floats of groups, corporations or companies.
The larger than life floats will showcase the works of Ilonggo artists, with the grand winner set to win as much as P300,000. The display of colors will be capped off with a stunning grand fireworks display.
