The Dabalistihit Festival (September 10) is the town’s annual celebration featuring fish species that can be found on Naujan Lake such as Dalag, Banak, Banglis, Tilapia, Hito (hence the festival name) and other resources that can be found on and around Naujan Lake.

During the feast of Naujan’s patron saint San Nicolas de Tolentino, the festival participants gather with colorful costumes and they dance similar to the Ati-atihan of Kalobo, Aklan. Festivities include street dancing, showcasing and depicting several natural preservation efforts of the local community and the government.
