Rather than a one-day celebration the City Government under then-Mayor Eva Marie Medina made the whole month of September as World Heritage Solidarity Cultural Festival to showcase the heritage of the city.This month-long festivity, in solidarity with other World Heritage Cities around the world, aims to strengthen the pride in the city’s history and culture, promote friendship and diversity between countries and serves as a great venue for forging ties and understanding through community’s involvement in the city’s various activities that highlights love for culture, arts and entertainment.
Celebrating the culture of Asian and other countries is also part of uniting with other World Heritage Cities.Preserving the Ilocano culture includes bringing to life the history of the city.
