A simple town festivity that has evolved into a world-class celebration:
Welcome to
The Bahaghari Festival!
Tracing its roots from the mythical founding of Pinamalayan,
the Bahaghari Festival is a reflection of the first Pinamalayeños'
joy and thanksgiving for the divine guidance of a rainbow
that guided them through a raging sea towards a land of promise and bounty.
The Bahaghari Festival is held during the warm summer months
of March and April, right after the harvest season.
Aside from the festival's historical significance,
locals also celebrate their bountiful agricultural yield
and see the celebration as the perfect opportunity
to show their appreciation for all the blessings of the previous year.
This “Celebration of Colors” represents the vivid flavors of Pinamalayan
that are as varied and mesmerizing as that of a rainbow.
