The time has come! After three years of being in hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Aliwan Fiesta, once again, is set to gather the best of the best cultural street dances, floats, and Reynas from all over the Philippines.
Last May 18, Manila Broadcasting Company invited several media practitioners for a press conference, unfolding the brand new logo of Aliwan Fiesta to the public.
Aside from this trademark, MBC President Ruperto S. Nicdao also pointed out three major changes during this year’s festival.
Date of Aliwan Fiesta Far apart from the customary Aliwan Fiesta schedule, this year’s grand festival will take place on July 13, 14, and 15. Since the academic school year ends in July, the committee came to a decision to adapt to the academic calendar in consideration of the participating students. In addition to that, educational institutions within the vicinity of CCP will be utilized as the contingents’ venue for rehearsals for the time being.
