Yugyugan offers a vibrant display reminiscent of the grand street festivals found in various towns and cities across the Philippines during their fiestas. These events feature elaborate choreography, colorful costumes, and large-scale production numbers as communities parade and dance in the streets to honor patron saints, celebrate history and culture, give thanks for bountiful harvests, and more. Well-known street dancing festivals in the Philippines include Ati-Atihan, Sinulog, Binalbal, Sandugo, Maskara, among others.
Even better, explore the entirety of PhilFest from Friday to Sunday, April 5 to 7, 2024. Celebrating its 28th year, PhilFest continues to light up PCFI’s festival grounds situated at 14301 Nine Eagles Drive, Tampa, FL 33626.
Advance tickets to the festival are available for just $8.00, with gate prices at $10.00. Admission is free for children aged 5 and under, as well as military veterans.
