Pasigabong Festival: Illuminating Granada’s Cultural Majesty and Eclipsing Many Other Municipal Festivals Across Negros Occidental
Disclaimer: This review focuses specifically on the Pasigabong Festival’s street and arena dance competition as well as the Pasigabong Queen search. It’s important to recognize the inherent budgetary constraints faced by barangays when compared to the more extensive resources available to municipalities or cities. Consequently, the scope and number of events a barangay can host are naturally limited. Despite these limitations, it is our hope that the insights and practices shared here from this humble barangay’s experience will offer valuable lessons and inspiration to others, regardless of their size or funding levels.

The Street and Arena Dance Competition is where the heart of the Pasigabong Festival really beats—showing off Granada’s incredible creativity and skill.

But it’s not just about the dance. It’s about telling stories that blend old traditions with new ideas, all powered by a strong sense of community pride in Barangay Granada.
And let’s not forget the stars behind these stunning performances—the choreographers. Some of the best in the business come from right here in Granada. They’re not just teaching steps; they’re honing raw talent, turning local dancers into top-notch performers who bring their A-game to the festival year after year. It’s this mix of homegrown talent and rich tradition that makes every performance something you can’t miss.
