Pahiyas Festival
Why it ranks
Lucban's harvest festival for San Isidro Labrador every 15 May, when houses along the procession route are decorated with kiping rice wafers, fruit and vegetables; Proclamation No. 1222 declared 15 May 2026 a special non-working day in Lucban for the festival.
Don't miss: Walk the decorated-house route and watch the afternoon procession of San Isidro Labrador.
Best for: Day-trippers from Manila who want colourful decorated houses, pancit habhab and Lucban longganisa in one morning.
Good to know: Held on a fixed date (15 May) regardless of the day of the week; the single road into town is congested, so arrive early and expect to walk.
