Dagitab Festival
The Dagitab Festival is the official cultural celebration of the City of Naga, embodying the city's bright future through its deep connection to light, energy, and development. The festival kicks off every December 8, coinciding with the Feast of the Immaculada Concepcion, and runs throughout the Christmas season. Known for its Festival of Lights, Naga transforms into a glowing city, with streets, parks, and public spaces adorned with colorful lights, creating a festive atmosphere for locals and visitors alike.
Naga is not only a city of lights but also a vital power source for the Visayas region. With KEPCO and SPC Power Corporation (now Therma Power Visayas) located in Barangay Colon, the city plays a crucial role in addressing the region's energy needs, helping to secure a stable power supply and contributing to the growth and progress of the area. The city's town plaza and park are enhanced with vibrant lamp posts that light the way for residents and visitors to explore. The St. Francis of Assisi Ocean Park, a beautiful baywalk and boardwalk, offers a scenic spot to enjoy the lights and take a leisurely stroll by the sea.
Naga's industrial sector also plays a significant role in its growth. With various companies driving its economy, the city is on a steady path toward progress, providing hope and opportunities for the people of Naga. The Dagitab Festival is a reflection of Naga's strength, spirit, and commitment to a brighter future. It celebrates the city's role as a beacon of light, power, and progress in the Visayas.
