Celebrated every June 17 and lasting for a week, the Katigbawan Festival is a thanksgiving festival to commemorate Catigbian’s founding.

Aside from the standard local beauty contest involving humans, the festival also has a carabao pageant; in this contest, carabaos are dressed and are given a chance to showcase their “talents,” with the winners getting a prize in the end. This is the townspeople’s way of honoring the animal seen as the best friend of all farmers.  Read more:  https://filipiknow.net/philippine-festivals/
