an act of thanksgiving for having saved Vigan from a deadly epidemic in 1756. It evolved from this and
majestically transformed today as the most colorful and significant festival to Bigueños as it focuses on
the remembrance of Apo Lakay’s deliverance as well as promoting the local fabric, Abel Iloco. Along with
the street pageantry of the Binatbatan Street Dancing, it also emphasizes Agriculture with its Karbo
festival, Calesa Parade and the Santacruzan.

About Lubi-Lubi Festival

Each October, Glan grandstands the Lubi-Lubi Festival. There is a whole other world to the outfits,
movement, and musicality in this yearly rivalry. The hues and faces of Lubi-Lubi Festival hung on each
October mirror Glan's industry and custom inside and out. Very nearly 90 percent of the town's
aggregate land territory is planted with coconuts; town people have both the old and better approaches
to bring home the bacon out of it, from the tree's underlying foundations to its leaves; drinks to
handiworks to made items. Lubi-Lubi entertainers wearing ensembles that made of coconut materials
move in the lanes where Hispanic houses still stand today. Road moving gatherings contend in
musicality, movement, and outfit utilizing indigenous materials from the coconut. The celebration is
featured by a social introduction, wherein inhabitants move and depict the significance of coconut trees
to them. 

Lubi-Lubi coconut move is an indigenous fun move road parade using the city's bottomless coco plants
and materials. The Festival mirrors an old custom of Glan, the territory's most seasoned town. Each
contending bunch exhibits an especially old religious conviction of the general population about the
coconut tree; animistic convictions are enlivened in movement by ceremonies of adoration to the tree
as a wellspring of endowments, for example, wind, water and rain, fire, great wellbeing, and even life.
