Maubanog Festival is a three- day festivity from May 16 -18 highlighting the colorful tradition and bountiful harvest of Mauban in the present year. It is a moment of joy, celebration and thanksgiving. It is one of the town’s main event during the peak of summer when harvest of Kibal, the local term for the fruit of mangrove palm  (nypa fruticans) sap is at its best. This weeklong revelry is centered on our famous Nipanog, the strong liquor distilled from slightly fermented sap of kibal. Festively adorned booths are set up to sell different fruity flavours of the liquor throughout the occasion. The celebration culminates in a judging contest of the best session drinker and the best tasting nipanog concocted by the local distillers.There’s much more to Maubanog than drinking nipanog, though. There are parades and cultural shows highlighting the rich and colourful history of our town.
