FESTIVITIES IN LAOAG

The Pamulinawen Festival is held every first week of the February. The festival corresponds with the Feast Day of Saint William the Hermit, which is the city’s Patron Saint. It started from a simple celebration of the Feast Day of Saint William, then it has grown into a more spectacular festival featuring the culture and heritage of the city through a variety of social-civic activities, civic-military parade, a parade of floats, and its centerpiece, the Street Dancing Competition. It includes the Dulang Food Festival, Calesa Festival, and Miss Laoag Pamulinawen Festival Beauty Pageant, among others.
