Illustration of The Pahiyas Festival in the Philippines
The Philippines' most colorful festival takes place in Lucban, Quezon every May 15. It is celebrated in gratitude of an abundant harvest and the town's patron saint, San Isidro de Labrador, the patron saint of farmers.
This grand, visually striking display features the creative decorations of Lucban households using produce such as fruits and vegetables, and a prominent rice wafer called "kiping" that is shaped like a leaf. Tourists flock this event to get a taste of their Pansit Lucban and witness the resplendent parade of floats, among many other treats and experiences in store.
