IWAG 2008 a Christmas Festival of Lights in Pototan
Brief History
In 1997, a group of Civic Minded Pototanons grouped together to become a helping hand to the Local Government and the Community to conceptualize a celebration of lights during the Yuletide Season that aims to focus on the message of Christmas, the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ who is the " True Light that Enlightens the World". It also aims to help foster the Socio-Cultural and Economic development of Pototan. Thus IWAG was born!
IWAG has become a tradition Pototanons look forward each year. It has become a Festival of dazzling lights and decorations with nightly cultural shows, food fair and the yearly tradition of lighting up homes with beautiful lights. Today Pototan is declared by the Dept. of Tourism as the "Christmas Capital of Western Visayas".
