Agbiag, Bigueño!
The celebration of
Vigan City Fiesta is held in honour of St. Paul the Apostle, the City's patron,
has been a traditional doing of the City Government of Vigan and the bigueños
every January 25, every year. Locals and tourists gather to experience and see
the street dancing, carnivals, food fairs, and arts and crafts, adding to the
attraction of this UNESCO World Heritage City.
But due to the
pandemic, the traditional way of celebrating Vigan City Fiesta has stopped and
changed. Last year, the City Government and the bigueños celebrated it through
online. Many contest/competition happened through online like street dancing
family edition, longganisa cook contest and many more.
Vigan City celebrates
fiesta now in the new normal in a way that everyone can still feel the
importance and essence of the said important occasion, well, at the same time,
making sure everyone and everything is safe. We all know that the pandemic
makes it hard for all of us to feel like everything is fine and normal, but we
will be able to… maybe not feel the same exact thing, but feel closely to that
emotion when we celebrate our fiesta.
We can contact our
friends and family, talk about what we can do for that special day, dance like
how we used to see the street dancers gracefully rule the street, we can also
sing, and we can ask our moms or dads or anyone in our home that can cook to
prepare some delicious food for that day and of course, we can help them, too.
There are tons of ways we can celebrate the fiesta, and virtually, we can let
our friends and family that are away from us join us.
