Traditionally, the fiesta is a time of joyful
celebration for Filipinos. Fiesta is about your family and your friends
sharing time together. January is one of
the biggest month of Vigan where they celebrate their cityhood and to give
honor to their dearest patron, St. Paul.
Vigan City Fiesta is held every January
25. The Vigan City Fiesta usually lasts for several days. It includes within
the period the celebration of Kannawidan and the anniversary of the cityhood of
Vigan, which is commemorated every January 27.
Biguenos from all over the country and
even abroad return to Vigan to join their family and friends in the celebration
of their fiesta. They are joined by thousands of visitors from other parts of
the Philippines and other countries in enjoying the cultural shows, parades and
street dancing. There are also food fairs, arts and crafts exhibits, as well as
a visiting carnival.
Participants from the different
neighboring provinces in the northern region are also sent to compete in the
various games and activities, particularly the street dancing competition. This
participation by other municipalities makes the Vigan City Fiesta not only a
local event participated in by Vigan’s officials, but a national event
participated in by other local public heads and national officials. Within the
Vigan City Fiesta days, the Longganisa Festival is also celebrated.
Joining the celebration is quite
exhausting but I guarantee that you’ll find yourself enjoying.
