With the joint venture of the LGU under the stewardship of Hon. Mayor Joselito F. Naguit and Maleldo 2013 Execom of St. Thomas, the Apostle Parish, the “Sabuaga Festival” was held last March 31, 2013. The activity can be compared with the festival of other towns like the “Panagbenga” of Baguio City and “Sinulog Festival” of Cebu because of its colorful street performances particularly the unique costumes and choreography of participating dancers. It is a yearly activity conducted during Easter Sunday in the observance of the Holy Week. Sabuaga came from the combined Kapampangan words “Sabuag” and “Sampaga” meaning to shower flower.
