Sinadya sa Halaran is the joint festival of the Province of Capiz and City of Roxas. It is celebrated in honor of Our Lady of Immaculate Concepcion every first weekend of December each year.
The most fitting description of this festival is a “fete of faith and thanksgiving through the joyful celebration of the Capiznon way of life”. Loosely translated, Sinadya sa Halaran means joy in thanksgiving and sharing.
Among the highlights include the Grand Dancing Parade where participants dance their way on the streets wearing colorful and unique seafood costumes depicting the underwater world. Clearly this event is a manifestation of true Capiznon artistry and love for merry-making. The real feast however is the Seafood Festival where mouth watering and sumptuous seafood, so many to choose from, are available.

The battle cry of Capiz is being the “Seafood Capital of the Philippines”. The markets are always abundant with almost every kind of seafood imaginable. From blue marline, tuna, prawns and shrimps, crabs, eel, shellfish and other marine species. Capiz offers only the best. And if you have had a taste for its exquisitely delicious seafood delicacies, surely you would agree.
