The Buglasan Festival of Negros Oriental is set to be launched on Oct. 16 with a barrio fiesta celebration dubbed “Fiesta sa Nayon.”
Participating barangays from Dumaguete City and the municipalities of Sibulan, San Jose, Dauin, Valencia will join the grand parade and exhibit indigenous food along the main thoroughfares of Dumaguete.
Each barangay is expected to bring a lechon and other food products which will be displayed at Freedom Park.
