Higalaay Festival Fluvial Procession 2026

A beautiful journey of faith, devotion, and thanksgiving as we honor St. Augustine, our beloved patron saint.

Amidst the gentle waves of the Cagayan de Oro River and Macajalar bay, we come together as one community—carrying our prayers, hopes, and gratitude as we celebrate the rich faith and traditions of our city.

May St. Augustine continue to guide, bless, and protect all Cagayanons.

Viva Sr. San Agustin! Viva Cagayan de Oro!
