Winners of the different events will be given their awards and prizes during the closing ceremonies scheduled on April 30.

Mayor Dalipog cited the annual celebration of the Imbaya festival will greatly contribute in the efforts of the local government to attract the influx of more foreign and domestic tourists to frequently visit the municipality and enjoy watching the scenery and beauty of the rice terraces and watching cultural practices that will be passed on to the coming generations of Ifugao residents.

He called on interested guests and visitors to make their early bookings with the available hotels and inns although there are also available homestay facilities in the locality to accommodate the expected influx of tourists during the conduct of the festival.
