Kisi-kisi Festival

March 25 | Negros Occidental

 

Kisi Kisi is a dance parade which imitates the way fishes flip-flop and twitch as they are hauled during the bountiful harvest.

 

Participating groups wear costumes and headdresses adorned with multi-colored shells & fishnets while props include bamboo poles and baskets used for fishing.

 

Before the dance parade, there is a re-enactment of the Sinulog in honor of the town’s patron Sr. Sto. Niño. According to the stories, the saint  saved the village from the moro raids.
