THE Department of Tourism (DOT) in Western Visayas is set to bring the Dinagyang Festival to Hong Kong to participate in the most colorful Chinese Festival Night Parade in February 2016.

DOT Regional Director Helen Catalbas said the region's participation in the Hong Kong Festival started in February 2015 upon the invitation of Hong Kong Tourism Board.

Masscara Festival of Bacolod City was sent in 2015 to show off the festival of Western Visayas. There are more than 200 local festivals in the region and Masscara was selected to represent the region in the night parade.

In 2016, the Dinagyang Festival will be sent to Hong Kong as a goodwill ambassador to perform before the people there and thousands of overseas Filipino workers.
