    PYESTANG TUGAK -Pyestang tugak started in 2003 to perpetuate the beautiful traditions that

    emerged through the years in catching and cooking frogs that used to abound in the rice fields of
    Pampanga. The citizens of San Fernando have reserved a special day every year to honor this amphibian
    because of its important contributions to the environment, the economy and culture. It also resembles
    the Fernandino in many ways, including its resiliency.

    LIGLIGAN PAROL- A parol maker during the December 1994 contest spent P100,000 to construct his
    entry which had thousand of components. Various organizations and sponsors subsidize the cost. The
    prize for the winner was P5,000 in cash and a coveted throphy plus national prestige, immesurable in
    terms of material value. The parade of giant lanterns also becomes a parade of six-by-six trucks carrying
    the heavy parols. Each lantern weighs 1000kg or more, and requires at least 50 people, working almost
    an entire year, to assemble it (January to May for electrical framework; June to July for the electrical
    wiring; August to December for papering).
    SINUKWAN FESTIVAL is a weeklong festival that captures the soul of San Fernando City. It is best
    described as the essence of the Kapampangan Spirit. Sinukwan is a cultural festival, so you would expect
    that most of the events are steeped in the traditional culture of the natives. A festival of this magnitude
    in the Philippines is incomplete without the spectacular street dances that bring locals together in a
    remarkably fluid manner.

    APUNG IRU FLUVIAL FESTIVAL -is an annual celebration held in Apalit, Pampanga every June 28-30. It
    is also the feast day of the town's Patron, St. Peter. The local term “Apung Iru” refers to the On its first
    day (June 28), the holy image was transferred through a fluvial procession from Capalangan to Apalit
    Parish Church in a colorful and decorated float. While the float was traveling with other boats along the
    Pampanga River, devotees were praying and singing religious hymns. The image had stayed in Apalit
    Church until the last day of the feast (June 30) and returned to its original shrine at Capalangan with
    same process and river routes.image of St. Peter.
    FLORES DE MAYO-is a festival held in the Philippines in the month of May. It is one of the May
    devotions to the Blessed Virgin Mary and lasts for the entire month. The Santacruzan is the ritual
    pageant held on the last day of the Flores de Mayo. It honors the finding of the True Cross by Helena of
    Constantinople and Constantine the Great. Its connection with May stems from the old May 3 date of
    Roodmas, which Pope John XXIII abolished in 1960 in favour of the Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross.

    PABASA NG PASYON-known simply as Pabása is a Catholic devotion in the Philippines popular during
    Holy Week involving the uninterrupted chanting of the Pasyón, an early 16th-century epic poem
    narrating the life, passion, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The verses are based on the bible and
    practiced every holy week.
