Festivals in the Province of Laguna

Cultural identity is a fundamental source of our social empowerment. With confidence we can nurture and develop the characters, concepts, and ideas that are native to us. There are social and economic benefits that come from the practice of distinct cultural skills. A strong sense of community allows people to be more expressive resulting in the enrichment of arts and crafts, culinary creativity becomes the norm, and celebrations become colorful and enduring. Thus, cultural energy induces positive self-image and becomes the foundation of unity, which is supremely tolerant of cultural diversity.

In tapping our people’s greatest asset for sustainable development, the Provincial Government of Laguna embarks in supporting the holding of festivals to cultivate and harness cultural strengths and resources. This way the Provincial Government will be promoting people participation, local genius and cultural identity, because local communities, not the state, are the ultimate actors in the development process. Provincial governance is most effective and productive if it is culturally rooted. Encouraging celebration of the unique identities of local communities through various activities and various forms can inspire harmony and economic engagement in our society

In Laguna, all cities and municipalities have their own festivals attuned to the uniqueness of their communities.
