The town unites in recognizing the economic importance of Tangyan River to its people. The river has functioned as the economic heartland where lgbarasnons are engaged in agriculture. As they say, the most fertile areas for farming are in the plains near the Tangyan tributaries where it provided irrigation water for their agricultural produce.
Tangyan Festival is dedicated to the preservation and protection of their natural and cultural heritage and to be able to share them with the younger generation.
