Bangus Festival

Bangus Festival is held in Dagupan City, Pangasinan, to honor the city's thriving aquaculture, particularly in bangus or milkfish. The Bangus Festival began in 2002 with the goal of promoting the bangus business. The bangus cook-off, street party, trade fairs, and, of course, the exciting festival dance in the streets are all highlights of this non-religious event.

However, among the many ways to prepare bangus, the locals like to grill them. Many roadside food vendors will be grilling whole milkfish for passers-by to enjoy at home or on little tables and chairs near the grill. Bangus goods can be found in a variety of forms, including dried, raw, frozen, snack items, souvenirs, and merchandise.
