Pintados de Passi Festival transforms Passi City into a vibrant ethnic site. This cultural event, celebrated every third week of March, is one of the most exciting and prized festivals in the province of Iloilo.


There are competing tribes that will be presenting interpretative dances at different judging areas around the city. Aside from the remarkable dance portrayal, spectators are also excited to see the performers being ornamented with traditional body tattoos. These tattoos tell a story of the early days of Passi and how its story time evolved throughout the years.
