Calasiao’s barangays, attractions & fiesta
BARANGAY
Calasiao has 24 barangays and it enjoys its success due to the central location and proximity to Dagupan City. Businesses have more potential for success since the town is traversed by the national highway (MacArthur).

ATTRACTIONS
Calasiao is only a few minutes ride to the Bonuan Blue Beach and the Hundred Islands and about an hour ride to Baguio City and a four hour ride to Manila. The town is known for its “puto” (a soft rice cake), “suman” (sweet coconut and sticky rice cake wrapped in banana leaves) and “bagoong” (fermented fish paste). Many pilgrims from neighboring cities/towns and provinces visit Calasiao to pray at the Senor Divino Tesoro shrine. The statue of a crucified Jesus Christ is believed to grow in size and grant miracles.
FESTIVALS
The town celebrates its fiesta every May 2 and 3, the feast day of Señor Divino Tesoro. Also in the same month, Calasiao annually celebrates its “Puto industry festival.”
