FUN-FILLED events are slated as the local government under Mayor Crisostomo Garbo gears for the return of Fiestang Caragan after an almost two-year hiatus.
Dubbed “Tuloy ang buhay. Tuloy and laban sa Pandemya,” this year’s week-long Fiestang Caragan is a tribute to Mabalacat’s 310-year legacy and treasured past, marking the city’s triumph over the COVID-19 pandemic to send a message of unity and hope for a better tomorrow.
A teaser video was launched by the city’s Fiestang Caragan organizing committee last January, enumerating a line-up of events for this year’s week-long merriment happening from February 27 to March 6.
Fiestang Caragan 2022 chairperson and councilor Win-Win Garbo said the city government is tirelessly working for the return of the sought-after festivity, especially now that pandemic restrictions are in place.
Kicking off the festivity on February 27 is the simultaneous launching of the weeklong Tiangge, Baratillo and Bazaar, a Motor Show, a Photo Exhibit and Caragan Photo Competition, and a Visual Art Exhibit.
Expected to grace the event were local and Manila-based comedians.
Capping this year’s celebration is the return of the grandest and most sought-after beauty pageant in the region — Queen Mabalacat City 2022, with 12 Mabalaqueña lasses will to bring home the crown.
