The Municipality of Libon is blessed with natural bounties, sceneries in both terrestrial and aquatic, and rich history, culture and cuisine which, if managed efficiently and responsibly, could generate economic boom through livelihood opportunities to the Libongueños. Libon has a proud history of being one of the oldest settlements in the Philippines. It also has been crowned “Rice Granary of Albay” for its bountiful harvest of rice. The Libon Paroy Festival every July 22 to 25, is annually-held to honor Libon’s patron saint, Santiago El Mayor as well as to pay homage to its farmers. The festival showcases the farmer’s dedication in cultivating the soil and growing paroy or rice, Libon’s most staple crop and source of identity. Highlights include the annual carabao parade, farmer’s bounty, street dancing competition, baton and DLC competition, local food showcase, exhibits, sports events, and beauty pageants and talent searches exclusive for Libongueños.
