The Higalaay Festival has become a traditional annual event to celebrate the feast of St. Augustine, the patron saint of Cagayan de Oro City. It is a month-long festivity that starts in the first week of August and culminates on August 28, the feast of Saint Augustine. Some of the highlights of the event include city sponsored activities such as culinary show, street parade, bisperas fireworks show, religious procession, horse show, marathon and beauty pageant to select and crown the Miss Cagayan de Oro of the year. In addition, private enterprises like night market, carnivals and others provide more enjoyment to the celebration. August 28 is a non-working holiday in the city and residents, especially the Catholic faithful, celebrate the fiesta by preparing and serving sumptuous foods to share with family, relatives, friends and other guests. In some cases the merriment include drinking, singing, and dancing.
