The town fiesta is held every 20'th of January in honor of San Sebastian, the town's patron saint. Lupi is held every last Sunday of January.

For me "Lupi" is more exciting tradition rather than our town fiesta. "Lupi" is where early in the morning people at our town old and young gather into the streets carrying watergun or "tabo" a traditional Filipino hygiene tool.

"Lupi" is started first with a Catholic mass then we parade the streets along with the San Sebastian icon and then people wet water to the people and icon parading.

Then San Sebastian Festival continues with a procession held at the Lumban River, where the icon of the patron saint San Sebastian together with hundreds of devotees is afloat on “Kaskitos”, or a fleet of large boats.
Its been a trend to decorate the "Kaskitos" to give it more festive look.
