Boac's answer to the street-dancing festival craze as a way to attract tourists and spur more business growth in this capital town of Marinduque, is the "Bila-Bila Festival". Successfully staged for the second time under the stewardship of Mayor Roberto M. Madla, the 8th December festival was participated in by various contingents from the Ilaya, Seaside, Riverside and Poblacion districts.
The Mogpog Brass Band with some 40 members under bandmaster Chino Leyco joined the festival playing "We Are the World", "I Wanna Hold Your Hand", "Jingle Bell Rock" and others.
