LANGUB FESTIVAL
The Langub is an annual festival held every 24th day of January in Poblacion, Mabinay Negros Oriental. This festival is held yearly to coincide with the annual town fiesta which is January 25 in honor of Sto. Niño (Child Jesus). This is a 5-day (January 21-25) package celebration commemorating the joy, unity and prosperity achieved by the early cave dwellers. At the same time, a thanksgiving celebration for a God-given natural wonder; the spectacles and splendors of the caves that makes Mabinay “The Cave Capital of the Philippines”. The highlights of the festivities are agro fair, sports events, entertainment activities, pageant, street dance and showdown of the 6 basic Langub dance steps and movements, live band and finally, the fireworks display.
