Sinait Bawang (Garlic) Festival
Sinait, Ilocos Sur is known as the Garlic Center of the North. In that regard, the Garlic Festival is being held annually during the 1st to 3rd of May. It aims to showcase the talent, ingenuity and hard work of the Ilocano farmers. Also, it aims to encourage the farmers to mass high quality garlic using modern technology.
When Governor Savellana and Mayor Yabes witnessed the Garlic Festival in Gilgory, California, USA (Garlic Capital of the World) in 2000 it gave birth to the celebration of Sinait Bawang Festival. This festival gives recognition to garlic farmers and educate people on the importance of the garlic industry to Philippine economy.
