1. LANG-AY Festival (Mt. Province Foundation Day)
- a week-long agro-industrial trade, tourism and cultural affair with tribal dances and songs in full regalia. A native term which showcases the living tradition of the people of Mountain province to celebrate festivities, to share happiness, foster family solidarity, hospitality and nurture friendship all with a toast of home brewed wine. (April 7)

-It began in a concept never had by any political leadership in the distant past. Either may be because the province had myriad problems to contend with.

And when the incumbent leadership of this landlocked hinterland central Cordillera province broached the thought of it, the idea has caught everybody, including the officials and people, in frenzied mood. It was an idea at first considered too good to be true.

The idea is to have a day or two when all people who trace their origin to the different 144 barangays and 10 municipalities of the province and residing in the different parts of the world will converge in the capital town along with their local kins to relive "a living tradition of the people of Mountain Province to Celebrate Festivities, Share Happiness, Nurture Friendship, Strengthen Family Ties and Foster Brotherhood all with a taste of indigenous food and a toast of home-brewed wine"; which is the most apt definition of Lang-ay.

The birth of Lang-ay Festival has seen chaotic beginnings. As soon as the concept was broached and initial discussions ensued, many ideas and apprehensions cropped up from the various identical tribal groupings in the province that seem to muddle a clear vision at hand. Even just the name evoked lengthy discussions in an attempt to come up with a common term acceptable and understandable for the diverse tribes.

But in the end, the goodness of the idea prevailed as unity amidst diversity in culture took place and consensual agreements forged. Thus, the Lang-ay Festival was born and first conducted on the first week of April 2005 during the commemoration of the 38th Foundation Day of the province.

It was a spectacular event to behold. The officialdom and critics were stunned by the unexpected success it has generated. The streets along the route of the civic and street dancing parade were fully occupied to the hilt by spectators, foreign and domestic. Restaurant and hotel business became brisk and invigorated not only in the central town but in nearby towns. Transportation drivers and operators never had it so good that one quipped: "Can we not have the Lang-ay Festival in monthly basis?".

More than the tourism value that the festival garnered, indeed the residents of the province and natives from the province residing around the country and abroad had a grand reunion as they came to share with and among themselves indigenous foods and local wines amidst the playing of the gongs and chanting of the old native songs.

As the Lang-ay festival drew the Mountain Province people and visitors from far places together during the week's celebrations, it highlighted a mix of indigenous cultural practices with modern traditions making the festival unique in showcasing the past and present, which was in fact acclaimed when it won the major awards during the WOW Cordillera's Best of Festivals, a regional event sponsored by the Department of tourism-Cordillera Administrative Region showcasing the various festivals of the different provinces in the region. The Lang-ay Festival is now considered as a "must see" in Northern Philippines.

Done every first week of April with highlights especially showcased on the 6th and 7th which is the Foundation day of the province, the festival promises to be better every year as innovations are added and more participations are enjoined from the Montañosans here and abroad.
