What to expect during the final festival week
September 24: Ginuman Fest
Ginuman Fest 2026 opens the remaining major-event schedule at the Anahaw Amphitheater, with Cueshé and Banda ni Kleggy announced as featured performers. Visitors should expect heavier evening traffic around the venue and plan transport before the concert.
September 26–27: drill, street dancing and Miss Iligan
The Silent Drill is scheduled for September 26 at the Anahaw Amphitheater. The following day brings Kasadya Street Dancing 2026 at the same venue and Miss Iligan 2026 at MSU-IIT, featuring Baby Dolls. September 27 is therefore likely to draw crowds in more than one part of the city.
September 28: parade and music festivals
September 28 carries the fullest program. The Parada de San Miguel is listed from the Ludo Building to the Anahaw Amphitheater. The Iligan Korean Friendship Hallyu Festival at Mugna Grounds includes a K-pop concert by Korean girl group E11iVYN, while the fifth Luna Music Festival takes place at the Anahaw Amphitheater.
September 29: feast day and fireworks
The celebration culminates on September 29 with the Feast of St. Michael the Archangel. A fireworks show is scheduled at the Iligan City River Esplanade. Attendees should arrive early, follow crowd-control instructions and use only designated viewing areas.
Events held earlier in the major-events calendar
The official calendar also listed Pagpakanaug at St. Michael Cathedral and the Rico Blanco concert at Anahaw Amphitheater on September 20, followed by Indigay sa Lechon at the City Public Plaza on September 21. These dates had passed when this update was published on September 22.
