     Vigan is an island, which used to be detached from the mainland by three rivers - the great Abra River, the Mestizo River and the Govantes River. It is unique among the Philippine towns because it is the country’s most extensive and only surviving historic city that dates back to the 16th century Spanish colonial period.

We celebrate Vigan City Fiesta every  JAnuary 25 every year. Vigan City Fiesta is held in honour of St. Paul the Apostle, the city’s patron saint,with a parade, musical performances, beauty contests and cultural shows.

A couple of days ahead of the Vigan Town Fiesta another celebration kicks off the start of the whole Town Fiesta. Longganisa Festival is held every January 22 wherein there is a longganisa-themed parade and other events as well. Longganisa is a native version of Mexican salami, which has a garlic flavor that has become an all time breakfast favorite. Various stalls that sell Vigan’s pride will be seen along the streets in town.
