Pasalamat Festival is an annual celebration of the locals of Pagadian City giving thanks for the bountiful and fruitful harvest in honor to its patron saint, Sto. Niño (The Holy Child Jesus), which coincides with Cebu City’s Sinulog Festival. The festivity celebrated every third Sunday of January. Accordingly, the origin of the Pasalamat Festival was meant to honor the folklore God of agriculture. The week-long celebration of the Pasalamat Festival 2023 has concluded with Pagadianons and tourists filling the streets to join and witness the climax event, the Street Dance and Ritual Competition.
