Tinagba Festival 2012
February 5 - 12, 2012
Iriga City, Camarines Sur
The Tinagba Festival is an annual festival in the City of Crystal Clear Springs, Iriga City, Camarines Sur. It is a harvest-offering celebration which coincides with the feast day of Our Lady of Lourdes.
It features a parade of carabao-drawn colorfully decorated carts carrying the newly harvested crops and fruits. This feast originated from the early rituals of ancient Bicolanos who offered their harvest to their Gods as a way of thanksgiving and to ask more bountiful harvest. The festival also features revelers in beautiful decorative costumes who dance around the city.
