Come Home to Gubat for the Ginubat Festival!

Step into the roots of Gubat and experience a festival that celebrates history, heritage, and homecoming — the Ginubat Festival, happening this June 11 to 12 in the beautiful coastal town of Gubat, Sorsogon! Rooted in the origin of the town’s name — “Ginúbat,” which means “a place that was once a forest” — this celebration invites locals and visitors alike to reconnect with nature, culture, and community.

The festival is packed with exciting activities that bring the town to life: from the vibrant cultural street parade, artistic exhibits, and adrenaline-pumping sailboat races to the much-anticipated beauty pageant and lively fiesta celebration. But the true heart of Ginubat Festival is the Balik-Gubat, a meaningful homecoming event that gathers Gubatnons from near and far in a reunion of shared memories, pride, and joyful celebration. It’s a reminder that no matter how far life takes you, there’s always a place to come home to.

Whether you’re returning to your roots or discovering Gubat for the first time, the Ginubat Festival offers an unforgettable glimpse into the town’s soul — warm, welcoming, and deeply rooted in community. Come and be part of the story, the celebration, and the spirit of Gubat!
