Anilao, Iloilo celebrates “
Banaag Festival” every
November 1. It is the town’s way of celebrating its foundation. “Banaag” in Hiligaynon vernacular means “
blazingly bright.” It is an annual festival celebrating the valour and honor of their ancestors, triumph of light over darkness and the utilization of the light and fire in their everyday life in Anilao as farmers and fishermen. The festival is highlighted by a dance-drama competition using light and all its forms as a medium.
