ALL roads leads to historic Cavite City as it stages its annual “Mardi Gras” Regada Water Festival on June 24 along P. Burgos Avenue to the corner of Salamanca Road.
Thousands of local and foreign tourists are expected to join the 22nd Water Festival, with water sprinklers and fire trucks installed along the streets.
The Water Festival, which coincides with the feast day of Saint John the Baptist, is celebrated every June 24 all over the country.
The festivity full of culture and old-school fun will lead by Mayor Totie Paredes, Vice Mayor Denver Reyes Chua, and Councilor Ian Barron.
They are expected to open the program with the cheerful “Chavacano” greeting “Viva Regada,” as the historic city is one of the many influenced by the Spanish culture and language during Spain’s occupation of the country.
