Vigan City Fiesta Celebration


     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.  Within the Vigan City Fiesta days, the Longganisa Festival is also celebrated. The city has a longganisa-themed parade and at one time attempted to set a record for having the longest longganisa ever made.

Vigan’s garlic and sugarcane vinegar are said to be more strongly flavorful. It’s a great take-home gift after partaking in a Vigan City Fiesta.
    The Festival, which will be held until Jan. 27, corresponds with the commemoration festivity of Vigan's cityhood and its yearly celebration out of appreciation for St. Paul.
