Ummm……Zambales is in Luzon, Kalibo and the Ati-atihan are in the Visayas. You should post on the right article. Also Ondoy was almost a year ago.

Will try to check that one out – but usually Filipino fiestas are like that- a Filipino fiesta is never complete without food and liquor and the bigger festivals – Ati-atihan, Sinulog and Dinagyang – these can last up to a week. :)

Hi! i just want to ask if there is anyway I could get a list of fiestas lasting at least a week long and where liquors and food are sold in the open streets.

Hi KC,

There are no clear estimates but it would be the tens of thousands of people on the main square…this goes on for at least a week with the action mostly coming on the final three days (with crowds that could possibly exceed 100,000- this is just a ballpark figure).

Beer and liquor is sold right on the streets, so yeah, it is definitely legal to consume it out in the open. Just be sure to keep your valuables away in a safe place. Hope you check Ati-atihan out!

Cheers,

Ryan

looks like a fun festival to attend, any idea what are the estimated number of the crowd? is it legal to consume beer in the open during these kind of festivals?
