Pasig Fiesta
June 29th, that's when araw ng Pasig is celebrated. Pasig comes alive with the Pasig Fiesta, a grand celebration in honor of the city's patron saint, San Antonio de Padua. The fiesta features a colorful procession—mostly held by Immaculate Conception Cathedral of Pasig, lively street performances, and a grand feast that brings together the community. Recently—Pasig has decided that they will held on events in front of the city hall to celebrate the day for Pasig. It's a tradition that keeps on camaraderie within this beautiful city!
Paskotitap
Paskotitap is a beloved tradition that sparkles with joy and festive spirit. It's a testament to the creativity, resourcefulness, and community spirit of Pasig's residents. As the holiday season approaches, Pasig City comes alive with the magic of Paskotitap, inviting everyone to experience the joy and wonder of this timeless tradition. The floaties that have different designs from every barangay and the events held by Pasig City every time this tradition is done! Mostly having dance and singing competitions along with concerts and raffles!
Bambino
The Bambino Festival, one of the grandest cultural celebrations of Pasig City, kicked-off on January 11-20, 2013. It is held in honor of Sto. Niño whose purity, love and innocence reflect on the lives of Pasigueños. Bambino Festival is the Pasig City’s version of Sto. Niño festivals such as Sinulog of Cebu and Dinagyang of Iloilo City. It started in January 2002. The term “Bambino” is a foreign word which means child. An energized parade would be held by the council and Sto. Niño would be held by the people of Pasig as they dance around happily—bringing people together from barangay to barangay. The community becomes one when it's Bambino!
✧*°✿♡๑♪✧*°✿♡๑♪✧*°✿♡๑♪✧*°✿♡๑♪✧*°✿♡๑♪✧*°✿♡๑♪
