Tabanog Festival

One of Oroquieta City’s favorite past times is the Tabanog (Kite-Flying) Festival, which is held during the Summer months. The festival is held in the Plaza, near the bay front. Oroquieta City’s bay front is somewhat comparable to Chicago’s Lake Michigan, except the warm and soothing trade winds are irresistible to everyone’s desire to a fly kite with full enjoyment.

The Tabanog festival is a competition open to legal residents of Oroquieta City only. Each person may only register one kite, and registration must be done before the scheduled festival date. This year the Tabanog Festival was held on April 20th from 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and the kite registration deadline was April 19th. Kite entries were required to meet the requirements for dimension and description.

This year's Tabanog Festival was spectacular. Many participants worked hard and wittingly presented their kite entries. Of course, it is always a big challenge for contest judges to determine the winners, especially with a beautiful presentation such as this. However, among the good - there is the most, among the most - there is the better, but among the better - there is the best!
