46th Iloilo Paraw Regatta Festival
Now on its 46th year, the Iloilo Paraw Regatta Festival continues to be largest sailing celebration in the country and the oldest traditional craft event in Asia. With the theme “Unity amidst the waves of change,” the festival seeks to highlight the unparalleled seafaring abilities of Ilonggos, as well as the creative resourcefulness of local boatmen.
This year marks one of the biggest turn-outs for the festival known for its vibrant layags or sails soaring as high as 15 feet, often colorfully painted with images of rural sea life and depicting the culture and spirit of Iloilo City.
First established in 1972, the Iloilo Paraw Regatta Festival, has grown from just a half-day sail racing event. The festivities now include the annual Miss Paraw Regatta pageant, the BangkarerasaParaw Regatta, a Slalom Race, a Skim Boarding competition, as well as a Beach Volleyball tournament.
