Sigpawan Festival
The Sigpawan Festival of Lemery stands as a heartfelt tribute to the town’s deep connection with the sea, agriculture, and faith. First celebrated in 2007, the festival was conceived as a thanksgiving event for the community’s blessings—its bountiful harvests, hardworking people, and enduring devotion. The name Sigpawan comes from the word sigpaw, a traditional scoop net used both in fishing and farming, symbolizing the livelihood that sustains the people of Lemery.
