Every 15 May, locals decorate their houses with various fruit, vegetables, flowers and other produce, often in a stylistic design. Kipings (a thin leaf-shaped wafer made from rice paper) and longganisas (a Filipino sausage) are also considered ornamental during the festival. But beyond the beautification of houses, the highlight of the festival is the ‘Kalas’ procession, when people grab as much produce as they can from the decorated houses and run. It may sound mischievous, but it’s one of the most joyous parts of the festivals for both visitors and homeowners. Throughout the celebrations, which tend to last around two weeks, there are also competitions, parades, cultural performances, exhibits, and plenty of fiestas.
