We rushed to the narrow streets of Vigan to witness the Binatbatan Festival of the Arts parade. The festival is celebrated during the first week of the month of May to promote awareness and preserve the heritage site.
For the past sixteen years, the festival of arts has
been successful in drumming up attention for Vigan’s
ancestral houses. With the help of national and local
agencies, as well as media, arts and non-governmental
supporters, the festival has also succeeded in promoting
other aspects of Vigan. Its popularity has even
benefited the whole tourism industry of the northern
region, bringing in tens of thousands of local and
foreign tourists curious to explore and have a “northern
experience.” (source vigan.ph)
