Its main event is a sailboat race in Iloilo Strait that features the Paraw, a Visayan double outrigger sail boat. It is the oldest traditional craft event in Asia and the largest sailing event in the Philippines.[1][2] It is one of Iloilo City's tourism events along with the Dinagyang Festival, Kasadyahan Festival, Chinese New Year festival and La Candelaria Fiesta. The Iloilo Paraw Regatta began as a half-day sailboat race but is now a multi-day, multi-event festival. The Paraw race course is a {{convert|30|km}} long, running up the coast of Panay and then down the coast of Guimaras, before returning to the finish at Villa Beach.[3] Participating paraws are categorized based on the waterline length of the boat and further classified according to their sails as "unpainted" or "painted".[4] The sails are painted with colorful designs. The racing breaks down into two classes. Boats of length 16 ft and below of strictly traditional construction and those 16 ft 1 inch through to 22 ft with a wider range of materials allowed.[5] Side events
