Adlaw sa Probinsya (Province Day), also known as Siquijor Day, marks the founding anniversary of Siquijor as a province in its own right. The island was formerly a sub-province of Negros Oriental and became a separate province in 1971 under Republic Act No. 6398. September 17 is Siquijor Day, a non-working special public holiday in the province under Republic Act No. 7673 (1994).
The 2025 edition, the 54th, featured a grand parade of government offices, agencies and private groups, a trade fair of farm produce, an exhibit of paintings and artworks showing local culture and tradition, a Solili Dance Festival presentation with participation from the Department of Education Siquijor Division, and fireworks. The 2019 edition, which ran from September 14 to 17, also included an awards program recognizing marine protected area awardees.
Visitor note: start times and venues for the parade, fair and performances vary from year to year. The program is set by the provincial government and may change, so confirm it locally before planning a visit.
