Sandurot Festival 2017
Schedule of Activities
As we all know, festivals and fiestas are ‘usually’ celebrated on the same week or at least the same month. However, the Dumaguete Tourism Office and officials have made an announcement since February that the Sandurot Festival 2017 of Dumaguete City will not be celebrated with the Charter’s Day (held this November) but instead on a September. The festival was moved to an earlier date so that the dancers and the perform can prepare for the grand celebration of the Buglasan Festival on October.
