Dingras, Ilocos Norte and Ani Festival

Ani Festival is the most anticipated event in the town of Dingras. It
is a thanksgiving celebration of the local farmers for the bountiful
harvest within the year.

vegetables. According to the Augustinian friars during the Spanish
Era, Dingras has the most fertile and most productive soil in the

they call Dingras Night or Bless Dingras Night. The highlight of the
event is the dance parade that features ethnic dances and colorful
costumes.

and food fest.
