Happy Fiesta, Urdaneta!

Just like any other cities and provinces, we have our own festivals too!

During the 18th to 31st of March, we celebrate the Dumayo Festival which consists of different acitivities;

• Basbas ng Pag-iisang Dibdib (free mass wedding)
• Bloodletting activity
• Tree planting for environment preservation
• Jobs fair
• Fun run for a cause.

And on December 8, it has been our tradition to celebrate the Urdaneta city Fiesta. This is in remembrance of the city patron, Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception. Festivities are held from the 1–8 December. Activities include a parade, drum and lyre competition, teachers' night, balikbayan night, ABC-SK night, ballroom and Miss Urdaneta City coronation night. A carnival is also put up every December as a part of the yearly event.

In the 2012 yearly City Fiesta celebration (December 1 –15), Fifth District Representative Kimi S. Cojuangco formally (December 1) opened the agro-industrial fair where “ bahay kubo” booths of the city’s barangays showcased their local products at the Urdaneta City Cultural and Sports Complex.
