During the early<br />
years that karakol<br />
was being held in<br />
town, only the elders<br />
were participating in<br />
this religious dance.<br />
But as the years pass, even the young Taliseños are also<br />
doing the karakol. Taliseños participate in the Karakol in<br />
groups. They are clad in various costumes while gracefully<br />
dancing in praise of San Guillermo.<br />
This festival is participated by the local Government along<br />
with other Government and Non-government organizations.<br />
This event takes place in February each year. This year on<br />
Sunday Taal Lake Yacht Club held the Festival Regatta which<br />
was a great success despite blustery winds.<br />
