Ibalong is a week-long festivity that is celebrated in Legazpi City. This is a celebration depicting Bicol's early beginnings as portrayed in the "Ibalong" epic that tells of super heroes Handiong, Batlog and Oryol, villains and wild animals that roamed in the ancient times. Revelers parade on the streets wearing masks of these heroes and villains. There are also other festival activities that include tours, trade fairs, exhibits and beauty pageants.
Effective this year 2011, Ibalong Festival will be celebrated on August under the Resolution No. 0052-2011, a resolution changing the date of the Ibalong celebration from October to August.
