Peñafrancia Festival, Naga City, Bicol, Phillipines
The Festival is held every 3rd Sunday of September in honour of the Virgin of Peñafrancia, the Miraculous patron saint of the Bicol Region. A nine-day novena is done in honour of the Virgin. On the ninth day, the image of the Virgin is paraded in a colourful fluvial procession on the Bicol river in downtown Naga. When it reaches the Basilica of Our Lady of Peñafrancia, the devotees shout, "Viva la Virgen!"
