“AniLag” is a shortened “Ani ng Laguna” which literally means “harvest of Laguna.” The weeklong festival showcases the wonders of Laguna as well as the province's culture, history, cuisine and local industries. The province’s 27 municipalities and 3 major cities all enjoin in what is dubbed as Laguna’s “mother of all festivals”. And Anilag, it seems, gets bigger every year.
