The municipality of Gonzaga is celebrating its week long 1st Dawa festival from May 10- 13 as a manifestation of the Gonzagaños’ gratitude to the Almighty Father for their abundant rice harvest.

Gonzaga is blessed with wide and fertile soils suitable for rice production that is why majority of his constituents are engaged into rice planting. “Dawa” is an Ilocano term which means flowering stage of rice plants.

The celebration includes street dance competition wherein participants of all ages ranging from elementary to senior citizens.
