festival,
The Kasadyahan is one of the major events of the Dinagyang Festival. Done every last Saturday of January, it is a cultural dance competition which showcases the different festivals in Western Visayas. For this year's 50th Dinagyang Festival, Kasadyahan is upgraded to Fiesta Filipinas.
Celebrating the blessings from the Creator and honoring the Señor Sto. Niño is the common theme among the tribes. The variation comes as the competing tribe showcases the local festival from the community they represent.
Witnessing Kasadyahan first hand was mesmerizing. The grace in the choreography of the performers and their colorful costumes, as well as their props when they interpret their respective festivals made me appreciate our culture a lot more. It also made me feel more proud to be a Filipino.
In Kasadyahan, the different tribes take the same route and perform in the same judging areas as the Ati Tribe Competition.
