All throughout the world, the Chinese New Year explodes with firecrackers and dragon and lion dances and is observed with religious rituals, gift giving and family feasts.
In Bacolod City, it will be marked with dazzling illuminated colorful giant lanterns, lighted floats, fireworks, a Chinese food alley and cultural dances.
This is Bacolod’s very own Chinese New Year festival — BACOLAODIAT. It comes from the words “Bacolod” and “Lao Diat”, Fookien word for celebration.
