The Panaad Park was created primarily for the Panaad sa Negros Festival. The park houses Pavillions of the 19 Municipalities and 13 Cities all over Negros Occidental. These pavilions are either replica of the icons of the place or a representation of the culture, products and the people of the place.
Great effort is being given to maintaining these Pavilions as they are only used during the festival. This is why most of these Pavillions are made of concrete materials and are only refreshed a week before the Panaad sa Negros Festival.
Visiting the park during the Panaad sa Negros Festival is like visiting the entire province of Negros Occidental.

THE PANAAD STADIUM
The multi-purpose stadium of Negros Occidental has been for many international and national sports events. It has a 15,500 seating capacity but can hold up to 20,000 people with standing areas.
Major events of the Panaad festival are being held at the stadium such as the Lin-ay sang Negros (Festival Queen Coronation Night), Festival Dances Competition, Concerts, Sports, Latin dance Sports Competition, Folk Dance Competition and much more.
THINGS TO DO AT THE PANAAD SA NEGROS FESTIVAL
Experience Negros’ Culture, Talents and Beauty
Some of my favorite events during the festival include the following:
The Festival Dance Competition – a showdown of all the festivals in Negros Occidental. Witnessing this event is like attending all the major fiestas in the province. The folk dance competition, not the ordinary folk dance you see being performed in schools. This competition reflects how the choreographers have research about the story of a culture and execute it through dance.

The Latin dance Competition is also another visual feast during the festival.
For the sports lover, the Panaad sa Negros Festival will also have a Football festival, boxing, etc.
Of course, the search for Lin-ay sang Negros is another exciting event during the festival.
Too many to mentions, the Panaad sa Negros Festival also offers concerts, bodybuilding competitions, business training, and much more. (Please refer to the schedule above for details.)
Handicraft and Food Shopping
The Panaad festival is the Opportunity for every LGU to showcase its local produce such as crops, preserved food, sweets, handicrafts and much more. From the simple broom to the classic and high priced wooden or hardwood furniture, Panaad has it.
Chicken and Seafood Galore
After exploring the entire park, many opt to dine and enjoy the delicacies offered by each municipality and city. Coastal LGUs normally offer seafood and of course, the Chicken Barbecue is always present.
Travel Planning
Almost all pavilions are manned by the Tourism representative of each municipality and cities. So for the first-time traveler to Negros, this is a good opportunity to ask relevant information from the place’s representative and what to see from their places.
A haven for Plant Lovers
A great portion of the park is dedicated to the gardeners of Negros. In fact, the Panaad Park has gardens that are open all year round and you can just buy ornamental plants or even ask them to do your landscaping.
For me the other country should have a festival like panaad sa negros festival because it helps promote each province’s. It can also help express their gratitude to the patron saints for bountiful blessings. If other countries have a festival like this with such a celebrations that focus on cultural or ethnic topics that seeks to inform community members of their traditions
DIVERSITY AND TEAMS
Philippines was known for celebrating different festivals in different places. It is because Filipinos are fond of celebrating and having time to get together. Philippines celebration of the fiesta is mostly religious in nature aa this was because of the influence of the Spanish Colonization. All the festivals mentioned especially the panaad festival in the article should be promoted with other countries to showcase what culture we have as well as traditions. This can help protect local cultural traditions, develop tourism and promote the economic, social and cultural development of the destinations. By showing other countries our festivals this will help attract large crowds which can strengthens the attractiveness of cities, communities, and tourism destinations.
For me, the reason why Philippines shall promote festivals to other countries because festivals are fun to celebrate. The first reason is that the performance, the food, the people, and the most important of all is the memories. The bonding of family members, the camaraderie of the community, and the creative ideas of people behind a festival’s success, is rather vital.
