Vigan is unique for having preserved much of its Hispanic colonial character, particularly its grid street pattern and historic urban lay out. Its significance also lies on how the different architectural influences are blended to create a homogenous townscape. Vigan City has a festival, this is to show their unique products and traditions to all people.
The Vigan City Fiesta is celebrated yearly during January 25, in honor of St. Paul the Apostle. The metropolitan Cathedral Church, the Vigan's main church, is dedicated to St. Paul. The Vigan City Fiesta usually lasts for several days. At present, the festival gathers a lot of locals and tourists who come to see the presentations they do for the show. Vigan Town Fiesta is composed of arts and crafts exhibit, carnivals, street dancing performances, and other vivacious performances that celebrate the spirit of Vigan’s cityhood.
Participants from different provinces in northern region are also sen to compete in the games and activities. This participation makes the Vigan City not only a local event but a national event participated by other local public heads and national officials.
