Now on its 38th year, the Iloilo Paraw Regatta is the oldest traditional craft event in Asia, and the largest sailing event in the Philippines. The Iloilo Paraw Regatta Festival 2010 is a week-long fun filled event.  On the Saturday of the climactic weekend there is slalom racing on a course by the beach to facilitate crowd participation.  On the Sunday, the thirty-kilometer distance race is sailed on a course in the Iloilo Strait, running up the coast of Panay and then down the coast of Guimaras, before returning to the finish at Villa Beach.
