Yugyugan 2017

The Philippine Cultural Foundation, Inc. presents Yugyugan 2017 Street Dancing Competition during PhilFest on Sunday, April 9, 2017 at 2:00PM at the Philippine Village, also known as PhilFest Grounds. Through the event chairmanship of PCFI Board Member Bing Curioso, PCFI is now accepting applications from groups and associations. If your social organization is interested to join this fun event, please contact her at (813) 454-4060.

Yugyugan 2017 is a scaled down but equally entertaining street dancing event just like the colossal festivals in various towns and cities in the Philippines that celebrate town fiestas, honor patron saints, enjoy bountiful harvests or commemorate local pride in music, art and crafts. These are marked by huge productions numbers in full costumes and elaborate choreography as the townsfolk parade and dance in the streets. Popular street dancing festivals in the Philippines include the Ati-Atihan, Sinulog, Binalbal, Sandugo, Masskara and many others.

At PhilFest, “Yugyugan” has become a big inter-group competition among PCFI’s member organizations.  Any group, organization or association other than the PCFI member organizations are encouraged to participate, however. Each organization will receive tokens of appreciation at the end of the parade. Many thanks to the efforts Lucy Bautista and the entire PhilFest Door Prizes and Solicitations committee for taking charge of the prizes for this event!
