The Halad-Inasal Festival is a thanksgiving celebration in honor of the town’s patroness, St. Theresa de Avila. It’s a showcase of Talisay City’s historical heritage and identity through street dancing, where participants are clad in colorful and creative costumes.
One of the event highlights is the food festival where the famous “inasal” or lechon gains centerstage. Talisay’s lechon is one of the best in Cebu; its golden brown and crackling crispy skin is simple awesome, and nicely complemented by the meat made tasty by stuffed herbs.

During the annual fiesta celebration, Talisaynons have a tradition of showing thanksgiving. They call this traditional gesture the Halad Festival, which is pretty much like Cebu City’s Sinulog festival. The street dancing kicks off at the Talisay City Hall and contingents dance their way to the South Coastal Road. The choreography for the dances depict the movements involved in preparing Talisay’s famous specialty, the “inasal.”
Aside from the Halad Festival, Talisay City also celebrate the “Inasal Festival.” The City is famous for its roasted pig, which in local terms is called “inasal baboy.” While still serving as the mayor of Talisay City in 2001, Rep. Gullas established the “Inasal Festival” in order to promote the city and its specialty.
Since then, the “Inasal Festival” has been considered as the highlight in the City’s fiesta. So, if you’re ever at Talisay on October 15, you shouldn’t miss the parade of “inasals.” Read More: http://www.everythingcebu.com/attractions/events/fiesta-sa-talisay-2012/
