Every 15th of May the local harvest festival known as Araña’t Baluarte happens in this town. This is an exciting and incredibly merry feast in honor of a farmer who became a saint in 1622. This is a festival that lights up the local people with joyous smiles and big bamboo arches, which are loaded up with seasonal fruits and vegetables such as coconuts, suman, bananas, and other ripe and green fruits that are grown here. At 4:00 p.m. a procession winds away but before that, visitors get to drink fresh buko juice and east delicious kakanin (rice cakes) under the baluarte. Along the parade route there are plenty of pabitin hanging from the windows and more than a few beautiful bamboo food arches to celebrate the saint. When San Isidro goes under an arch, the arañas and other foods are cut loose and all the people get to gather up the goods.
