2nd Runner Up, Brgy. 2
Every float contingent performed a three-to-seven minute dance number at the five post-stations from SM City Bacolod at Rizal St. at the Tourism Strip, with five judges.
The production designs of the floats were anchored on the theme, “Life’s Good in Bacolod.”
The contingents were judged based on their creative use of materials and lights, music, choreography, costumes, and sequence, and the audience impact.
Bacolod Mayor Evelio Leonardia and his wife Elsa, Vice Mayor Jude Thaddeus Sayson, and festival director Eli F. J. Tajanlangit presented the awards to the winners.
Judges were artists Dennis Ascalon, Hilario “Doods” Campos III, Barry Cervantes, Maureen Austria, and Jade Snow Dionson.
