Saad Festival, a well-known Catholic tradition celebrated after Lent as a way to let loose after the prohibitions of the religious holidays.
Saad actually stems from a religious basis although this might be difficult to believe if you choose to experience the weeklong, all-night parties that characterize the happening. The Hiligaynon word Saad means faith and this festivity keeps the spirit of unity amongst its people. It is one of the many festivals in Iloilo and it is celebrated in one of its municipalities – Leganes.
