4. Lechon Festival
In the Philippines, no festival would be a complete celebration without the world-renowned lechon on the table.
In celebration of this culinary pride, The Mactan Newtown, in partnership with the Lapu-Lapu City Government, is once again putting the spotlight on the world-famous Cebu lechon, along with the rich history, artistry, and skill that goes into preparing this celebrated dish, with its very own “Lechon Festival.”
While most Filipinos concur that the best lechon is found in Cebu, the competition for the “best” lechon-maker is perennially a subject for debate. Some say that the best lechon is in Talisay City, while others say it is in the City of Carcar. This is where The Lechon Festival comes in handy, as it gathers several lechon-makers in the island for a single event. This gastronomic and cultural celebration will delight festival-goers with its authentic Cebuano fiesta experience.
