MANILA, Philippines - Ginebra San Miguel, Inc. (GSMI) opens 2013 with a bang as Ginuman Fest opens its 15-leg tour on Jan. 19 at the Plazuela in Tarlac City.
On the festival’s second year, music lovers can look forward to evenings of great music as featured artists perform their greatest hits as well as hottest chart-toppers, standard favorites and party anthems.
Expected to return on stage are GSMI’s band endorsers The Itchyworms, Kenyo, Callalily, Rocksteddy and dance sensation Jhong Hilario. Joining them in some of the Greater Manila Area (GMA) runs are brand ambassadors Anne Curtis, Maja Salvador, Solenn Heussaff and 2013 Ginebra calendar girl Georgina Wilson.
A total of P100,000 in prizes for each leg is up for grabs for lucky game participants.
Ginuman Fest is GSMI’s way of thanking its millions of kalahi for making its flagship product, Ginebra San Miguel, the world’s largest-selling gin. Ginebra San Miguel was introduced in 1834 and will be celebrating its 180th anniversary in 2014.
Concert-goers will also get to sample and purchase other GSMI liquor products such as Gran Matador Brandy, Antonov Vodka, and non-alcoholic beverages at the venues.
