Viva Vigan!

Vigan City Fiesta is usually held every year on late January.  It is celebrated during the feast day of the conversion of St. Paul the Apostle. St. Paul is Vigan City’s patron saint. Before his conversion, St. Paul was known as Saul, a zealous persecutor of Christians. After he was touched by a personal encounter with Jesus Christ on his way to Damascus, his name was changed to Paul, and he endured a lot of hardships and danger to spread the word of God to faraway places. Every year, the local government prepares cultural shows, parades, and longganisa street dancing. There are also food fairs, arts and crafts exhibits, and a visiting carnival.

Longganisa Street Dancing is one of the event that people looks forward to. It is a festival where
dancers from different schools and cities compete. It includes different kinds of instruments, which make the performance entertaining and gives the dance life. The dancers hold a plate with a fake longganisa.

Carnival or what we call " Karnabalan" is a public enjoyment and entertainment place where there are a lot of fun rides, food fairs, perya games like darts throwing, coin tossing, and a lot more fun games. Come and visit the beauty of Vigan. Viva Vigan!
