Rosario

The Sinukmani Festival of Rosario, Batangas, is a heartfelt celebration that honors both the town’s founding and its deep agricultural heritage. First held in 2005, the festival takes place every June 9, perfectly timed after the dry-season harvest. Rosario, known as the “Rice Granary of Batangas,” holds a long-standing reputation as a center of rice production, making the sinukmani—a sweet sticky rice delicacy made from glutinous rice, coconut milk, and sugar—a fitting symbol of its abundance and communal spirit.
