Another great time to visit Vigan is during their World Heritage Cities Solidarity Day celebration every September 8. Vigan celebrates this with other cities all over the world that have world heritage sites.
In Vigan, this is special day is actually commemorated with week long celebration aimed and strengthening the pride in the history and culture of Vigan. This aim is in keeping with the long-term goal of preserving the heritage structures that date back from the 18th and 19th century. Vigan's well preserved Spanish trading town environs has survived of the test of the time, including bombings during World War II which leveled the major cities of the Philippine.
The festival is rooted in being part of the Organization of World Heritage Cities (OWHC), an organization founded to unite cities included in the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Cities.
