Pahiyas Festival
Every famous holiday in the Philippines is typically colorful, and the Pahiyas Festival is without a doubt one of the Philippines' most bright and brilliant festivals. The Pahiyas Festival has a long history dating back to the 15th century. Farmers used to bring their harvests to the foot of Mount Banahaw to be blessed. Quezon Province is the birthplace of the Pahiyas festival.
Pahiyas Festival is an annual event to honor San Isidro Labrador, the patron saint of farmers, for a plentiful harvest in town, and it is one of the Philippines' ten religious festivals. The town's greatest agricultural products, especially multicolored Kipings—a traditional Filipino leaf-shaped wafer made from glutinous rice—are used to decorate houses.
