The E.B. Magalona Pavilion at the Panaad Park has been spruced up and is ready for visitors and festival-goers when the 28th edition of the Panaad sa Negros Festival kicks off today.
Mayor Marvin Malacon invited everyone to visit the E.B Magalona Pavilion during the weeklong festivities.
One of its unique offerings is the “Paluto sa Saravia” where visitors can enjoy freshly cooked seafood such as blue crabs, tanigue/tangigue, bangus, lapu-lapu, pompano, blue marlin, lison, various shells, shrimp, talaba, and chicken inasal.
Saravia is the former name of the municipality.
EB Magalona is known for its fresh seafood, and is considered the “Blue Crab Capital of Negros Occidental.”
The lawn of the pavilion is being used largely for al fresco dining.
The lawn features a replica of the Dabo-Dabo waterfalls found in Barangay San Isidro, a small fountain in the middle, and a replica of the facade of the Tomongtong Mangrove Eco-Trail in Barangay Tomongtong.
Around the premises are posters of Saraviahanon contestants competing in various events of Panaad Festival.
Going inside the pavilion, visitors can appreciate the amazing artworks of two homegrown artists, Raffy Berina and Sol Alejandrino.
The 28th Panaad sa Negros Festival is slated April 15 to 21 at the Panaad Park and Stadium in Barangay Mansilingan Bacolod City, a statement from the municipal government Public Information Office said.*
