The 2009 Kalilangan Festival Schedule promises more pomp and pageantry
The GenSan Tourism Council, through its Vice-Chair Rey Billena, finally released the posters of the 2009 Kalilangan Festival. This poster which won the poster contest they conducted is by Ramon Magsaysay Memorial College’s Grease Art Studio.
It now incorporates the official 2009 Kalilangan Festival Schedule and the list of sponsors.
The theme for this year’s festivities which celebrates General Santos City’s 70th Foundation Anniversary is: “Pagbabalik Gunita sa Pitumpong Taon ng Kaunlaran, Kapayapaan at Kasiyahan”.
Judging from the 2009 Kalilangan Festival Schedule, expect more fun, pageantry and pomp with the whole family while giving tribute to our forefathers and the people responsible for the status that General Santos City has now achieved not only nationally but worldwide.
Click on the image below to better see the 2009 Kalilangan Festival Schedule.
However, if you want an EXCEL version on the schedule, just leave a message below and I will gladly do it for you.
Have a happy Kalilangan 2009!

Para akong sirang plaka… Every year we suggest na sa posters, i-include naman sana ang Christians. The special day depicts the famous landing. Sana si Gen. Santos ang nakaturo, nariyan ang Muslims, B’laans, and Christians…

@Daxi Weida – hehehehe! actually ang festival week is highlighted from feb 20-27… gabi-gabi ang programa sa oval stage at sa heritage park. maraming pagbabago sa oval… wala munang ukay-ukay at video karaoke. ang heritage park ay pangpamilya talaga… cultural presentations from 5-7 then acoustic live music from 7 onwards. security will be enhanced. we will set up cctv cameras as specific points of the oval… unta malingaw ang tanan…

@Kritiko – if you read the poster mababasa mo ang heading na “celebrating the 70th foundation anniversary of gen. santos city” siguro naman dahil mahilig kang mag-critique, alam mo kung saan related ang icon na “70″ sa poster.
