Banigan Festival

Every March, Libertad celebrates the mat weavers who keep a priceless local tradition alive. Street dances, handwoven fashion, craft displays, and generous community spirit turn the town into a moving tapestry.

A living Libertad tradition

Woven by hand.
Carried with pride.

March · Annual celebration · Libertad town center

Banigan honors the knowledge, artistry, and patience of Libertad's mat weavers. From carefully prepared palm leaves emerge intricate mats, hats, bags, slippers, costumes, and contemporary pieces that carry local stories into the future.

Festival days bring together street dancing, cultural performances, weaving demonstrations, exhibits, food, and the welcoming spirit of Libertad's communities.
