VIVA VIGAN FESTIVAL

 

Festivals are a way to celebrate religion, culture and traditions, wherein the people in a community rejoice with their loved ones, it’s also a time for everyone to relax and have fun and set aside their worries for a while and just celebrate with their friends and family. The Vigan City Festival is celebrated on January 25, the feast day of the city’s patron saint: Saint Paul, the Apostle.

It features a calesa parade, binatbatan street dancing, ramada games, religious rituals, santacruzan, bankathon, exhibits, trade/food fairs, abel-iloco fashion show and other exciting events.

The pandemic has been depressing. Businesses and faculties are placed to a halt, and now the pageant is too? Well, I can say that I recognize why they led to setting the festivities to a halt however it nonetheless feels sad. Due to the pandemic, we’re now handiest constrained to celebrating in our personal houses, and going for walks across the streets looking suggests and parades is now simply handiest a dream that can’t be reached, at the least for now. But I understand that those restraints are not preventing us Bigueños from celebrating and dwelling lifestyles as Bigueños. We tailored to the New Normal of education, so why now no longer adapt to a New Normal for celebrating the Vigan City Fiesta? Celebrating isn’t simply constrained to bodily activities. We can have fun on line with buddies and family.

Our culture is different which makes us unique and it serves as our Filipino identity. We must know our practices and traditions in order to preserve our culture for the next generation. Celebrating traditions like fiesta nowadays is very risky but people have thought of a way to continue these once a year events in safer manner.
