The Dagupan Bangus Festival is a yearly event in Pangasinan first initiated by Mayor Benjamin Lim in 2002. The festival aims to promote the city’s local bangus (milkfish) industry. In 2003, the Guinness Book of World Records recognized the “Kalutan ed Dagupan” as the Longest Barbecue of the World.
Some of the highlights of Bangus Festival are: Kalutan ed Dalan where everyone is enjoined to partake the longest barbecue party, 101 Ways to Cook Bangus to showcase their talent preparing the succulent bangus in many distinctive delicacies, Gilon-Gilon ed Dalan which is the street dancing competition depicting the bountiful harvest of bangus, and Bangus Rodeo where bangus growers showcase their best products and their food-processing skills.
