Agawan Festival
The Agawan Festival is an annual agricultural festival held in Sariaya, Quezon, Philippines every 15 May.
The festival name, Agawan, is of recent development. It was the idea of Rev. Fr. Raul Enriquez, now the town's parish priest, president of its tourism council and the proponent of the town's quadricentennial celebration in 1999.
The name describes the main feature of the fiesta procession. As the parade winds its way through the streets, people snatch the goodies and other produce hanging on the houses they pass by or on a ''pabitin'', specially made for the parade. At the same time, people in the houses throw food, fruits and money into the parade.
Before the parade, nearby residents decorate the outside of their homes. Colorful ''buntal'' hats are festooned all over the façade of houses. String beans are draped on windows to make curtains and banana trees are used to adorn fences. The primary, and most traditional, element in the decoration was the ''bagakay'', or young bamboo branches from which junk food, fruits, candies and money were hung for people to snatch as they pass by.
People say no matter how high the ''bagakays'' are, they would bow when the image of San Isidro Labrador passes by, allowing people to grab the goodies.
