Binirayan festival

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Binirayan festival ("Binirayan" literally means "where they sailed to")is an event celebrated in the province of Antique in the Philippines. The festival was conceived by Governor Evelio B. Javier in 1974 and was recently revived in 1998. It is celebrated every year in the month of April with highlights on April 27 to 29. The Binirayan Festival commemorates the legend of the arrival of the ten Bornean datus on the island of Aninipay now known as Panay. (See the legend of Maragtas.)
