VIGAN FIESTA 2023

    Vigan City Fiesta is held every 25th of January, dubbed as Vigan Longganisa Festival. It is celebrated during the feast day of the conversion of Saint Paul the Apostle, wherein he is the Patron Saint of the city. Before his conversion, St. Paul was known as Saul from Tarsus, 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 far places. He is believed to be the most influential among the missionaries of God.

    This year, Vigan City Fiesta is now on full blast after two years lockdown due to COVID 19. There is already a trade fairs and carnival ground. This is a week-long festival from January 18-28, 2023 with a parade, street dancing, cookfest, musical performances, beauty contests, cultural shows and among others.
