It was particularly warm and breezy in April when Pangasinenses once again paid homage to the Lingayen Gulf, one of Pangasinan’s economic backbones, by holding the annual Pista’y Dayat.
Dagupan City adopted the village-based activity and coined the name Pista’y Dayat, staging formal activities in 1968, according to the Dagupan City website.
This year’s revelry, which returned after three years due to the COVID-19 pandemic, officially started on April 3 with the opening of the Pangasinan tourism and trade expo at the Lingayen beach front. They were eager to see the sand sculptures on the beach that competed during one of the major activities of the festival.
“It was just looking for a place to stay that proved challenging as we did not have previous bookings. The hotels and resorts were full. It was good that we were able to find a room near the beach,” Espiritu shared. “We have food and heirloom recipes to promote and preserve. We also have culinary talents that we can help promote,” Guico said.
Another cultural event of the Pista’y Dayat was the Ipatawir Pangasinan Artisanal Fair held on Maramba Boulevard. The three-day affair provided a platform for local artisans, artists, and young and emerging entrepreneurs to sell their crafts and products—handwoven baskets, beautifully crafted textiles, crocheted items and products from corn husks and rattan.
A week earlier, the 25 candidates of Limgas na Pangasinan channeled the iconic Princess Urduja during the pageant’s cultural costume and talent night at Sison Auditorium. The celebration also included the traditional pageant, “Limgas na Pangasinan” , which was originally called “Limgas na Dayat” in the festival’s early years.
