A Stroll in Vigan’s Fiesta Celebrations!

 The Vigan City fiesta is held every January 25, during the feast day of the Conversion of St. Paul the Apostle. Before his conversion, Paul was formerly named Saul and persecuted many Christians before encountering the call of God. During these times is the best to visit the Historical and joyful city of Vigan!

There were many activities that happened during the week before Sunday, which is the Longganisa Festival, which I took photos of since I strolled around Vigan that time and decided to be an audience to the competition.

During the fiesta, there are many activities held in the City. Such as the Longganisa Festivial, a colorful and vibrant street dance that reflects the ilocano's traditions, the loud drums echos our culture and the streets is filled with cheer and smiles! This tradition is held every January 22nd. This celebrates the city's famous Longganisa and to boost tourism.

One of the famous spot in vigan is the Plaza Burgos park! Plaza Burgos is the smaller of the two major plazas in the city of Vigan. It can be found just beside St. Paul's Cathedral's Bell Tower. Many activities are held in this plaza such as the Agriculture night which I went and enjoyed the show! Plaza Burgos is the right place to rest after a long tour around vigan, just sitting and enjoying the calm atmosphere along with the warm breeze!

The Vigan's Carnival is also a must to visit! It's really enjoyable to take a walk there at night and enjoy the Blast full rides! Wel, make sure you're brave though, because I almost couldn't survive a ride, but that what makes it fun isn't it? The food there was also Incredibly delicious, you taste the Ilocano's Empanada, which is a must, and variety of Ilocano foods that you must try! There's also a bargain stalls which you can buy random stuffs at a cheap price!

When visiting Vigan, you can't skip the Calle Crisologo. A place must visit! Stepping in the brick stone street feels like the clock has just taken you back at the pre colonial era. The warm light, warm breeze, and the sound of the Kalesa elevates the ambience of the street! Take your camera out and capture the exquisite architecture of the Calle crisologo!
