This dau is also a feast day of the conversion of St. Paul the Apostle, he is the Vigan Citys Patron Saint. He was known as Paul before his conversion.
At this time, many Filipinos return to their hometown to celebrate and join their familyand friends. Visitors are also expected to come to watch the cultural shows that are prepared by the government with the help of local industries and communities.
The fiesta has a lot of activities, it showcases the indigenous performances, religion rituals as well as cookimg the best Ilocano dish. But above all the street dancing is the most popular among them. This makes the Vigan City Fiesta not only a local event but a national event. Some local public heads or national officials also comes to watch and have fun. Everyone is looking forward for this fiesta and it does not dissapoint as it gives us a clear view of the rich culture of Ilocos Sur.
