Parang on De Hill was presented by Citizens in Service of San Fernando on Sunday 13th December, 2009. Parranderos came to San Fernando to showcase great performances we’ve come to expect from the top Parang groups. Following are the top groups at the conclusion of the evening:

San Fernando Hill came alive with the sounds of sweet Parang music. The ambiance was a picnic setting where everyone enjoyed passionate performances as the Parranderos serenaded them.
