With this year’s theme, “Kaogma: Everybody Happy”, the festival kicks off with an opening parade on May 22. Camsur Governor LRay Villafuerte will lead the parade along with one of primetime TV’s leading ladies Anne Curtis, the sports games participants, marching bands, street dancers, and sponsors. The opening show presents the Resorts World’s famous Russian Power Duo and Brazilian Dancers. Bring the entire family and have fun at Lago del Rey with its floating bar, giant inflatables, banana boat, and jet ski.
