The Anihan (Harvest) Festival is celebrated every October 25-31 of each year in Narra, Palawan. It is a celebration of thanksgiving for the bountiful harvest that the people have received during the year, and a prayer that the new year’s harvest will be just as plentiful.

The Anihan festival also commemorates the feast of Saint Jerome, the town’s Patron Saint.

Activities during the celebration will include the parade of creatively designed floats, with muses of competing tribes, and the Search for Miss Amihan and the night of coronation. There will also be an agro-industrial fair, food festival, garden show, showcasing an array of ornamental plants, native delicacies, and flourishing agriculture in the municipality.
