It’s the Duman season once again!
On Saturday, 2 December 2006, Sta. Rita, Pampanga shall hold its 5th Annual Duman Festival. This year, the festival organizers have adopted the theme Duman: Bunga ning Masayang Sipagan [Duman: The Fruit of Joyful Industry].
True to their origins, the activities for the festivities are simply what have been customary but on a larger scale. In the place of troubadours who sang to those who pounded and winnowed the unripe glutinous rice, a world-class production of Capampangan music and dance accompanies the rhythm of the pestles hitting the mortar. Where street food and other light refreshments were served those who toiled and watched, a full food fair at the festival grounds features traditional dishes for merienda and dinner.
Read more about it at The Pilgrim’s Pots and Pans.
Been looking forward to this interesting festival [and yummy Capampangan food!] since last year when I first heard about it. With fingers crossed, I hope I won’t miss it again!
