Diyandi
A citywide celebration where devotion, indigenous memory, regional culture, food, music, and movement meet.

The spirit of Diyandi
Not one tradition.
A shared rhythm.
Diyandi is Iligan's living expression of faith and belonging—a festival shaped by Higaonon memory, Maranao artistry, Christian devotion, and the energy of a modern city.
