Saug Festival: Municipality of Lemery

SAUG FESTIVAL
Municipality of Lemery
Last week of January

The agricultural town of Lemery celebrates its vast agricultural heritage with the Saug Festival. Saug, a Hiligaynon term meaning to haul or to move an object laid on a bamboo sledge locally known as Karosa hitched on a draft animal like the carabao or cow. It is a definitive symbol of the mode of transportation for agricultural as well as traveling people in the old days. Up to this day, it has remained a cultural heritage of its folks despite the technological breakthrough.

The celebration of Saug highlights the town’s rich cultural meaning and long history as it is an important part of the Ilonggo culture. It also helps a great deal in preserving this indigenous celebration in Iloilo.
