This is the festival where every place that are included in Ilocos Sur gets so share their culture and pride, on what makes them unique and special.
But this celebration is not just about fascinating float parades and performances. There will always be a deep connection between every one of us, it is a festival where everyone is included, where everyone feels special and appreciated, where the festival alone binds the people within Ilocos Sur. It is to showcase what we are capable of, moreover, it also educates people and make them aware of how each one of the municipalities embrace unique cultures.
As a Bigueño, it is a pleasure that the main festival always takes place in the city of Vigan. Not only is it a festival full of laughter and excitement, but also a festival where we learn to embrace where we came from and what made us like this. It is an open festival, meaning that it is open for everyone, not only for those who live within Ilocos Sur. It really shows how welcoming Ilocanos are.
