Next Event: August 19, 2027
The Gigantes Festival in Lucban, Quezon, is a spectacular cultural event held every August 19, where townsfolk parade their beloved 'gigantes' or giant papier-mâché figures. Standing about 14 feet tall, these giants typically come in pairs representing a traditional peasant couple. Borne on the shoulders of devotees fulfilling a religious vow (panata), the towering figures dance through the streets, creating a vibrant and joyous community celebration.
