Freda Liza P. Gazo, head of the Rakrakan, Fireworks, and Food Garden Committee, confirmed that Manila-based artists will share the stage with talented local performers.
“Ang Rakrakan sa T’nalak, ma-experience naton ang mga artist from Manila. Of course, wala pa dira ang aton nga mga local artists; syempre, hindi naton sila pag kalimtan,” Gazo stated.

The festival wraps up with a spectacular Final Program and Fireworks Show on July 18, promising the biggest and most breathtaking display yet.
Meanwhile, the T’nalak Food Garden opens on July 6 with improved family-friendly dining.
