Sabuaga Festival: Kapampangan Easter Festival (Santo Tomas, Pampanga)
This festival is held on Easter Sunday and comes from the Kapampangan words sabuag “to scatter” and sampaga “flower” as petals and confetti are showered by the estabats, the town’s maidens in their formal gowns, on the image of the Virgin Mary.
Petals and Confetti literally rain on the processional routes as revelers join groups coming from the town’s seven barangays in street dancing.
