Next Event: February 1, 2027

The Lavandero Festival is a unique cultural event held in Mandaluyong, Metro Manila, every February to coincide with the city's Cityhood Anniversary. It nostalgically honors the city's bygone era when the Pasig River ran clear and local men, known as lavanderos, earned a living by washing clothes along its banks using wooden paddles and flat stones. The celebration is highlighted by street dances and performances that pay homage to this traditional livelihood.
