The festival of arts, Binatbatan
It highlights Vigan's
rich culture and traditional industry. Binatbatan Festival has its origins in
Vigan's abel weaving business, which existed long before the Spaniards arrived
to colonize the Philippines. According to Damaso King, a well-known Vigan
historian, the Viva Vigan Binatbatan Festival of the Arts, which runs from the
last week of April to the first week of May, was originally the Feast of the
Natives, which began on May 3, 1883. People have been gathering to the cemetery
chapel named Simbaan a Bassit to hear Holy Mass and continue their devotion to
Apo Lakay on Fridays and the third day of May since then. The celebration kicks out on April 27 at Calle Crisologo
with the opening of the food and trade fair, abel home décor set-up, carabao
painting, boklan art, tile mosaic, and concert, all under the direction of
Mayor Juan Carlo S. Medina.
