Treasures Hidden in the North

 


Our diverse cultures are the reason we hold wonderful festivals with calming musicals, showcasing talents, and bringing joy to visitors and locals alike. The Vigan Longganisa Festival is held every year on January 25th. Vigan locals celebrate their rich heritage throughout the year with a variety of festivals.

The festivals honor Vigan's culture while also upholding the city's customs. The Ilocanos' happy and vivid way of life is reflected in these vivid and grand festivals. The feast of St. Paul's conversion is commemorated with a city-wide festival. The feast falls on the same day as the city's longganisa festival, which celebrates one of Vigan's major goods.

Several events are held during the week-long festival, including a longganisa cook fest, a marching band festival, and many others. Biguenos from all over the country, as well as from other nations, flock to Vigan to celebrate their fiesta with their families and friends, as is traditional for Filipinos. Thousands of visitors from all over the Philippines and other countries are expected to attend.

This year has seen a lot of modifications from the previous year. We were unable to celebrate it with fancy gatherings and hilarious parades due to our various struggles. Despite the COVID-19, the government was able to establish protocols for the new Vigan Longganisa Festival in 2021, ensuring public safety. To feel the love and joy in this year’s festival, they have set up parades in vehicles and used social media to showcase a new normal celebration of Vigan Fiesta.
