We also commemorate the birth anniversary of our late leaders, Mayor Maria Clara Lobregat and Gen. Vicente Alvarez on April 26 and May 18, respectively. In line with the commemoration, activities and competitions will be held such as the Mi Ciudad de Zamboanga Photo Contest and Comida de Zamboanga Cooking Competition.
One of the biggest event this summer is the Zamboanga Valientes vs Ginebra Legends, a basketball showdown of big names in the sport. Talking about sports, the city is hosting a free Summer Learn to Play, the annual sports program where kids get to learn new sports. In the arts, the 1st Graffiti Competition which was postponed during the Dia de Zamboanga is now scheduled for young artists to show their skills in mural street art.
Designers and models will showcase their craft in the Festival de las Bellas 2019, with the theme "Flores." Each designer is assigned a specific type of flower and they shall interpret it in a gown and arco. The parade will be held on May 8 from City Fire Station to the National Museum Courtyard. For the complete lineup of activities, check out the schedule below.
