Seven tribes will be competing in the Dinagyang Ilomination on January 21, 2023.

Eric Divinagracia, the festival’s artistic director, said the new competition will feature illuminated Dinagyang warriors.

The tribes will perform in three judging areas —Atria Park District, SM City Iloilo, and Iloilo Business Park — from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Tickets, which cost P2,500 each, can be bought at Seda Hotel, SM City Iloilo, and Festive Walk Mall.

Next year’s celebration of Dinagyang, one of the most anticipated festivals in the country, will be held face-to-face.IMT
