The Official Tuna Festival 2014 Schedule

In just a matter of days, the whole city of General Santos will again be at its busiest and liveliest. And why not? It’s that time of the year that the Generals pay homage to its top dollar earner, the Tuna Industry through more than a weeklong series of activities that are fun as they are informative, as exciting as they are insightful and as colorful as they are commemorative.

For almost half the month of September, commencing on the 5th which is actually the Charter Day Anniversary of GenSan, Tuna Festival 2014 promises to be the grandest product-centric celebration in the whole of Mindanao.

The Philippine Fish Port Develoment Authority Office (PFDA) General Santos was kind enough to send us the Official and Final Tuna Festival 2014 Schedule of Activities and we are sharing them to you here.
