Tigkaralag: A Seasoned Halloween Festival in Pavia, Iloilo

In Pavia, Iloilo, Halloween comes with lots of mystery and ghostly attractions, plus an excellent choice of celebration, the annual Tigkaralag Festival that take place every 30th of October.


The town invites everyone who fancy about experiencing thrilling and terrifying moments to their annual Tigkaralag Festival. 

 The town has been crazy about festivities and activities related to Halloween and its peculiar customs that fanatics in adrenaline rush and dread would gather around its municipal plaza as witches, ghosts and zombies roam around the area changing the whole scenery.

Tigkaralag Festival is a tiny sample of the excitement and the passion that this charming agricultural town has in store for such an event. Thus, its annual celebration confirms that the town has not stolen its reputation as one of the best Halloween destinations in Iloilo every 30th of October.


Although Pavia does not celebrate Halloween with the lavish fanfare like in other parts of the country, that does not mean this fascinating old town, with its long and tempestuous history, frightening stories, and century-old churches and cemeteries, is not a great place to be for those seasoned Halloween fan.


Pavia certainly knows how to thrill its visitors with an eerie view up-close the parade of its scariest Halloween character. While watching the competition, you may bump into ghosts and zombies or other spooky themed characters present in the much-anticipated dance-drama competition. It can make the whole night just original and unforgivable.


Pavia is actually a wonderful place to spend an unforgivable pre-Halloween’s night with Tigkaralag. A lot of people either locals or tourists visit the town to celebrate this occasion.
And it is quite festive over there and this is why it is highly recommended as one of the best Halloween festivity in Iloilo.


Pavia is an agro-industrial municipality considered to be the smallest in terms of land area in the whole province. It is located 9.6 kilometers or a 25-minute drive north of Iloilo City. It is politically subdivided into 18 barangays bordered by the municipalities of Oton, San Miguel, Sta. Barbara, Leganes and Iloilo City. To get to Pavia, one can take a jeepney in Jaro Plaza, Iloilo City.
