The Piña Festival is not complete if the street dance won't commence. But this time there won't be a street dance competition but it will only be the Piña Festival, Queen Derby, to be held at the Ormoc City Superdome on June 26.  There will only be a street motor parade of the candidates from Robinsons Place Ormoc to the Ormoc City Plaza.  This is like one of the life festivals in honor of Sts. Peter and Paul in Ormoc City.  The colorful festival costume dresses worn by the queens are going to be paraded around the city.  They will dance beat by beat to the music of the Piña Festival.  Around eight (8) festival queens are competing for the Piña Festival Queen 2022 competition.
