Hello there, Hivers!!
I'm so excited to share with you a wonderful weekend afternoon I had with my husband. We went to the town center to experience the Dragon Fruit Festival. Just a short note: our island province is small, but every year, we celebrate 2 major festivals. The Manggahan (Mango) festival and the Dragon Fruit festival. There are also small festivals in every municipality.
As we arrived in the Capitol grounds, we were greeted by a group of people wearing colorful outfits. They weren't in costumes, they were the Zumba dancers 😁.
These ates and titas were cheerfully swaying their hips to the beat of the music 😁
Since I don't dance or do Zumba, I looked around for some food 😂. Well, that's what I actually came for in the first place. hehe.
I first saw the pizza with dragon fruit on top.
I was kinda disappointed because I was expecting they'll use dragon fruit sauce instead of the pizza sauce, but what would you expect from a 20 pesos' worth of pizza slice? 😁
I went to another stall and looked for an ice cream. My sister told me they had dragon fruit ice cream, but it was sold out when we checked. So I only got juice.

I actually liked it. It was not too sweet, and I could taste a hint of lemon.
I looked for a stall that sold dragon fruit jam and wine, but I didn't find one. I think I'm gonna go back some other time because some stalls were still closed.
Here are the other products they have on display.
I bought a kilo of dragon fruit, and we loved it. My daughter even brought some to school. One thing I didn't like was the lack of effort to make this festival grand. There were a few stands selling dragon fruit or dragon fruit products. Very limited space and very few activities. IDK, maybe because it's the weekend? I hope the event gets better in the coming days.
