List of festivals in the Philippines


The origin of most early Philippine festivals, locally known as fiestas, is rooted in Christianity during the Spanish colonial period. Many barrios and towns were assigned patron saints, and celebrations were encouraged to coincide with Christian holy days. According to historians, these patronal festivals served as a means of promoting Christian practices while blending elements of precolonial rituals and communal gatherings.
Festivals in the Philippines may be religious, cultural, or both. They are held to honor patron saints, commemorate local history, celebrate a bountiful harvest, or promote community products. Common activities include Masses, processions, parades, trade fairs, concerts, pageants, theatrical plays, and various contests and games. Not all festivals are Christian in origin; some are rooted in Islamic or indigenous traditions. There are more than 42,000 major and minor festivals nationwide, most celebrated at the barangay level. Some large observances, such as Holy Week and Christmas, are declared public holidays and are observed throughout the country.

List

The partial calendar list contains several of the oldest and larger religious and/or cultural festivals in the country. Each town, city, and village has a dedicated fiesta, resulting in thousands held throughout the year; a few are national in character. Some fiestas may contain multiple/conflicting dates and/or place entries.
