2012 PASALAMAT FESTIVAL SCHEDULE OF ACTIVITIES

Pasalamat Festival in La Carlota City, Negros Occidental, Philippines is based on the tradition of giving thanks   after a bountiful harvest by the ancient of Buglas. The city takes on a festive atmosphere during the weeklong celebration, which culminates with a Mardi Gras like parade of floats and caricatures. Dancers flirtatiously move to the rhythm created by the drumbeaters using carabao leather drums and percussion instruments made out of indigenous materials.
