The Provincial Government of Laguna (PGL) is set to celebrate the 2025 ANILAG Festival from March 9 to March 15, with the theme “Sama-sama Tayo sa Tuloy-tuloy na Saya sa Laguna.” With Governor Ramil L. Hernandez at the helm, this year’s festival promises to be as successful as previous editions.
The festivities will kick off on March 9 with the traditional Fluvial Parade, a heartfelt tribute to the festival’s Patroness, Nuestra Señora del Dolores de Turumba. This will be followed by a Marian procession and mass, led by the Bishop of the Diocese of San Pablo.
The opening of the Trade Fair Competition will then take place, where local government units (LGUs) will display their products in culturally themed booths at the Festival Grounds, which will be judged based on design and cultural significance. The afternoon will feature the spectacular Land Float Parade Competition, followed by the Street Dance Competition and a stunning Pyromusical Display and Exhibition in the evening.
Throughout the week, various events will unfold across PGL sites, offering something for everyone. The community can look forward to beauty pageants for children, married couples, and seniors, along with the Wedding Expo. The LGBT community will showcase their talents, while landscapers will impress with their works in the Landscape Competition. The Cosplay competition will also draw large crowds as popular characters from film and television come to life.
The agriculture sector will highlight the impressive results of their hard work, while sports enthusiasts can join the Zumba competition, Fun Bike Ride, and Kite Flying Contest. Food lovers will have the chance to indulge in Laguna’s culinary offerings, and pet owners can join in the Furry Run for Fun. Car and motorcycle enthusiasts will enjoy a day-long Car & Motor Show, showcasing a variety of vehicles.
The Ginoo at Binibining Laguna Beauty Pageant will be the main event on the evening of March 14, with young contestants showcasing their beauty and grace. The final day of the festival will begin with a Closing and Thanksgiving Mass, offering a farewell to the ANILAG Patroness.
For those seeking daily thrills, carnival rides will be available for all to enjoy, and stars from Enchanted Kingdom will perform live at the Laguna Cultural Center.
One of the most anticipated highlights of the festival will be the People’s Night Extreme, held at the Laguna Sports Complex on the evening of March 15. The event will conclude with an exciting Pyromusical Display and Competition.
Photographers will have the opportunity to capture the action through the Photography Competition, showcasing the best moments of the festival.
As part of the LOVE LAGUNA tourism campaign, chaired by 2nd District Representative Ruth Mariano-Hernandez, the ANILAG Festival is a vibrant celebration of arts, culture, and investment, offering visitors a chance to explore and appreciate the beauty of Laguna.
