The festivities will officially commence on the second day of March with the opening of the Agro-Industrial Trade Fair at the La Trinidad public market grounds. The schedule of activities which was recently unveiled during a press conference held by the town on February 16 shows a thicker calendar compared to past editions of the festival. Check out the complete and official calendar of events below. (Source: The Eternal Student)
