I wandered happily on the streets of the city proper and I could see the excitement on the faces of the people. The city is decorated with beautiful and colourful ’banderitas’ just right in time for the Vigan City Fiesta. Many tourists came to visit our town and to joyfully celebrate with us.
The Vigan City Fiesta is held every 25th of January which is the celebration of the conversion of St. Paul the Apostle, Vigan City’s patron saint and it lasts for several days. It includes within the period the celebration of the anniversary of the cityhood of Vigan. As a part of the tradition, Bigueños return to their hometown to join their families in celebrating their town fiesta. Tourists also visit our town to join the celebration and enjoy the different parades, cultural shows, street dancing performances and visiting the carnival prepared by the local government and people in the community.
Our home is truly amazing and there is just so much exciting things to do and watch. I honestly anticipate our fiesta and I look forward to it every year. Viva Vigan City Fiesta!
