Fiesta Region Program

Celebrate Philippine Fiestas in Manila: Cagayan Valley Region's Scarecrow Festival 2011

The Philippines is a Fiesta country, with extravagant and colorful celebrations hinged on a variety of interesting themes occurring all year round. These Fiestas embrace culture and tradition, encourage unity among the people, and serve as regional attractions that draw local and foreign tourists alike.

Known for their spectacular displays of cultural performances, Fiestas also offer opportunities for trade and a taste of the local cuisine. Tiangge, which means bazaar in Filipino vernacular, is one of the staple features found in fiestas that promote the town's products as well as its local delicacies.

The Fiesta Region Program is NTF's initiative to highlight a particular region and its corresponding fiestas as the theme for each succeeding edition of NTF. On its 20th year, NTF will celebrate the first SCARECROW FESTIVAL IN MANILA sponsored by Region II.

Popularly known as the Cagayan Valley Region, Region II will debut as NTF's first ever fiesta region. The five provinces of the region will bring their unique flavor to SMX, Convention Center, inviting trade buyers and visitors to partake in culture and merriment of their heritage and festivities.
