Barangay Fiestas - May

The month of May brings new flowers as well as cultural events in several Barangays of Oroquieta City. Aside from Oroquieta City's main fiesta event which is celebrated in October, several villages or Barangays of Oroquieta City celebrate their fiesta at designated days of May in honor of their individual patron Saints.
