Pahiyas Festival

Pahiyas Festival in Lucban, Quezon is indeed one of the most sought of festivals here in our country. The festival was done annually for the honor of St. Isidore the Laborer (San Isidro Labrador) who was to be believed the patron saint of the farmers.

The highlights of the celebration focuses on the parade of the patron saint on the selected streets of Lucban, Quezon. According to their belief, the households would receive abundant blessings throughout the year if it were passed through by San Isidro during the procession. These houses along the streets where the procession were scheduled to pass through, decked their houses with their harvests and other produce. Fruits, vegetables, grains, longganisa sausages, and lechon were used as a décor hung in the most artistic and fashionable way. And don't forget, the most popular decoration during the Pahiyas festival is the Kiping. It is primarily made from ground rice flour which is then cooked and shaped into leaves then hung in a chandelier called "Arangya". These kipings were used not only as decorations, but were also served as snacks, and it is best served half grilled with sprinkles of sugar on top.


Night markets and street shops or tiangge were also accessible for those who want to take home some souvenir items from the festival itself, or for those who just want to buy some snacks that can be munched on during the long travel home.
