Zamboanga Hermosa Festival 2017 Schedule

The City Government of Zamboanga will once again spearhead the celebration of the Zamboanga Hermosa Festival - the grandest festival in the Zamboanga Peninsula region. The strength of our communities has been the bedrock of Zamboanga City’s continued resurgence and fortitude in the face of challenges. We have lined up a variety of events to remind us to embrace and welcome the diversities of our culture and practices, and to form strong bonds of friendship across all communities.
