Higalaay Festival

FROM food and lifestyle event, beauty pageant, pyrotechnics, to street dancing, field demonstrations, fluvial parade and the religious rites – procession and the celebration of the holy mass at the cathedral on the 28th, the feast day, August is indeed a fun month for Kagay-anons!

The past days, we have witnessed the three major events as opening salvo of the most-anticipated Higalaay festival: the Higalaay AgriFair- a month long horticulture, garden show and agri-fair at the Gaston Park where the green thumbs most likely see the exhibition of plants and landscaping artistry from local gardeners and horticulturists.
