The month of January signifies festivity in the city of Vigan especially on 4th week of the month. It is the month of the celebration of the cityhood of Vigan and the celebration of its patron saint, St. Paul. The Festival is called Longganisa Festival.

During the colonization of Spanish in Vigan, Vigan is called Ciudad Fernandina because of the Royal Decree issued by King Fernando VI. The city was named Ciudad Fernandina. January 22 was signed a non-working holiday in the city by Pres. Joseph Estrada. It validated that it was a city because of the Royal Decree. And January 25 is the feast day of its patron saint.

Many events are organized to showcase the culture of Vigan City such as street dancing that shows the product of Vigan which is Longganisa and Saint Paul. School from elementary up to college joins this competition and not just from Vigan rather from neighboring provinces also join.

Other events include cookfest, half marathon, dance sports, float parade, quiz bee and others.
