Anihan Festival

September 27
Lobo

Each year, the town of Lobo in Batangas marks the end of its agricultural season with the Anihan Festival, held during the last week of September. The name “Anihan” comes from the Filipino word ani, meaning harvest, and the festival is a way for the community to give thanks for a bountiful yield and to affirm the importance of farming within the town’s identity. The event started as an official town celebration of agricultural production—especially focusing on crops like atis (sugar apple), corn, rice, coconut and root crops—and has grown into one of the town’s signature festivals of thanksgiving and display of local produce.
