Feast on fiestas this holiday season

FIESTAS form a colorful chunk in our country. Always a celebration of faith, Filipino fiestas are unlike no other, encouraging people to spill out of their homes and revel in the streets with painted faces and colorful costumes, relishing the sumptuous local cuisine. Street dancing is a must and against the beating of the drums and the sway of the music, the streets come alive.
Fiestas occur on any given day and the holiday season is not left out. Sprinkled with merrymaking festivities, the holiday season is the perfect time to explore the country.
Victory Liner, our favorite travel companion, lists some of the coveted festivals in Luzon to visit this holiday season.
Undoubtedly the Christmas capital of the Philippines, San Fernado in Pampanga is home to glittering giant parols. Big, bursting with a kaleidoscope of colors, mesmerizing everyone and showcasing the ingenuity and dedication of Kapampangans, San Fernando’s giant lanterns merit a visit come December. Parols symbolize the star of Bethlehem that night Jesus was born, guiding the three Wise Men to the manger where baby Jesus was born. Pampanga’s giant parols also seem to guide everyone who sets sight on it, as people flock to the province not only to get their Christmas lanterns but also watch the yearly Ligligan Parol or Giant Lantern Festival.
Started in 1904, the festival features parols of immense sizes, colors and lightings. The festival is a sight to behold as the entire province literally twinkles with thousands of lights. San Fernando’s Giant Lantern Festival is a must-visit, attracting not only visitors from around the county but foreign travelers, too. The colorful ornaments are already festive but throw in the Kapampangan brand of hospitality and you’re guaranteed to extend your stay and savor the sumptuous cuisine Kapampangans are famous for. Gazing at the giant parols is best experienced while munching on Boboto (Pampanga Tamales) and Suman Bulagta, traditional Kapampangan Christmas goodies.
This year’s Giant Lantern Festival will be held on December 15, 6 p.m. at the Rear Alfresco of Robinsons Starmills in San Fernando and will be participated by 12 baranggays in Pampanga. If case you miss the festival, fret not. There will be a Giant Lantern Display from December 16- January 2 (except December 24 and 31).
Also not to be missed out in Pampanga is the Sinukwan Festival. A week-long celebration, the Sinukwan Festival commemorates Aring Sinukwan, the god of ancient Kapampangan. it celebrates the province’s culture, showcasing the province’s unique furniture, artworks, sculptures, clothing, food, among others. The revelry is capped with street dance parades (similar to Sinulog of Cebu, Ati-Atihan of Aklan, Dinagyang of Iloilo, Kadayawan of Davao and Maskara of Bacolod) with towns outshining each other to the tune of famed Kapampangan folk song “Ati Cu Pung Singsing.”
This year’s Sinukwan Festival will be held December 1-8. Robinson Starmillls will be the venue for the festival’s opening, where booths featuring Pampanga’s famed products will be available. An exhibit of Pampanga’s famous churches is also included. The Grand-Street parade is on December 8, starting at 7 am on the grounds of Pampanga Provincial Capitol before culminating in Robinsons Starmills.
