The LGU booths give participating communities another opportunity to showcase what makes their hometowns unique. Beyond their visual designs, these spaces can introduce visitors to local products, food, crafts, destinations, and other aspects of community life. As the structures continue to rise around the festival grounds, the growing displays also build anticipation among residents and visitors who are looking forward to seeing the finished designs.
