Culture Events Tradition

GIANT LANTERN FESTIVAL
The Giant Lantern Festival is celebrated the Saturday before Christmas eve, displaying a wide variety of giant lanterns crafted by locals themselves. You can just imagine how bright it must be, with blinding, colorful lights shining from the lanterns.
It originated in Bacolor, another Pampanga city where it was celebrated in a much simpler manner. This parol event was carried along and thus it is celebrated in the capital city.

TUGAK FESTIVAL
San Fernandinos commemorate the frog is because when Mt. Pinatubo erupted, their city was devastated and became destitute because of the lahar flow. The frogs however were able to survive as well as most of the people in San Fernando. To them, the frog symbolizes them as a people because they can stay strong no matter what the challenge.
The entire city comes alive when they celebrate the Tugak Festival as much as when they celebrate other festivals. There are frog catching contests and frog races for the young children who take their pet frogs and make them compete against other frogs through these games. Frog mascots, street dancing, and parades are also part of this grand celebration that only San Fernando can offer.

SINUKWAN FESTIVAL

This festival is a celebration of everything Kapampangan, from food to culture to dances. It is during this celebration that trade fairs, cultural pageants, and street dancing are done. The partakers in the festival dance in the streets in their elaborate white and yellow costumes to the Kapampangan song “Atin Cu Pung Singsing”.

History
The city is named after Fernando VI of Spain. Its patron saint is Saint Ferdinand III of Castile and León. It is known as the "Christmas Capital of the Philippines". The city holds the annual Giant Lantern Festival every December where large lanterns are displayed in competition.

The town of San Fernando was founded in 1754 from the towns of Bacolor and Mexico. The first church was built in 1755 with wooden walls and nipa roofing. The municipal tribunal was erected later in the year in front of the town plaza using durable materials and thatched nipa roofing.

The town officially became a component city on February 4, 2001, following the ratification of Republic Act 8990 in a plebiscite from the previous day, making it the 99th city in the Philippines. Rey Aquino was the city's first mayor.
