event in Alaminos City. Lavish celebration marks the
Hundred Islands Festival. Exhilaration rides the
atmosphere with the string of athletic and challenging
pursuits like sky diving competition, skills Olympics or

cuisine enjoys center stage. Restaurants often let out
the latest and most sumptuous menus during the festival.
A trade fair also usually graces the occasion.
But the most awaited spectacle would be the fluvial

people following the floats and with the hot, dynamic
dance routine of the street dancers.
After which, the night glitters with the charming smiles
from beautiful muses vying for the HI maiden pageant.
Then, people, especially the young crowd, flock the
concerts featuring famous bands or celebrities. You’ll
go home with a full stomach, event-filled memory and a
bagful of souvenirs and delicacies and with one promise
– you’ll not miss the celebration next year.
