Every October, Glan showcases the Lubi-Lubi Festival. There is more to the costumes, choreography, and musicality in this yearly competition. The colors and faces of Lubi-Lubi Festival every 8th of October reflect Glan’s industry and tradition altogether. Almost 90 percent of the town’s total land area is planted with coconuts; town folks have both the old and new ways to make a living out of it, from the tree’s roots to its leaves; beverages to handicrafts to manufactured products. Street-dancing groups compete in musicality, choreography, and costume using indigenous materials from the coconut.

Lubi-Lubi Festival reflects an old tradition of Glan, the province’s oldest town. Each competing group showcases a particularly old religious belief of the people about the coconut tree; animistic beliefs are brought to life in choreography by rituals of reverence to the tree as a source of blessings such as wind, water and rain, fire, good health, and even life.
