The kakanin has its day in Rizal Province. It happens on September 9, when native rice delicacies like the suman and the kalamay are paraded down the streets of San Mateo during the yearly Kakanin Festival.
On regular days, the kakanin are sold in marketplaces around the town. On fiesta day, however, the kakanin are given away for free.
The Kakanin Festival is a recently introduced folk-religious holiday. It was officially initiated by the Catholic church in the late 1990s.

Agriculture, especially rice, is the main source of income for many residents of the San Mateo, Rizal, area in the Philippines. And they don’t just harvest the rice — they also have many creative, and tasty, ways to serve it up.
The residents of San Mateo even have a celebration dedicated to rice and the many dishes made from it. The Kakanin Festival of San Mateo is on Sept. 9 each year, and coincides with the feast day of San Mateo’s patroness, Nuestra Señora de Aranzazu.
There are more than 1,000 children, youth and elders sponsored through Unbound in the San Mateo area, and each year many participate in the Kakanin Festival parade along with their families and Unbound staff members. Read More: https://blog.unbound.org/tag/kakanin-festival/
