Lumban is also known for its diverse range of shoes, sandals, slippers, and step-in designs made from local materials.

With the collaboration of Governor Don Santiago de Vera and a local Tagalog chief named Burlon, construction began on a new stone church and was completed in 1600.

The surrounding area features numerous resorts catering to tourists, and vacation homes are common due to the local scenery and climate.

The reservoir created by the dam, Lake Caliraya, initially supplied one of the oldest hydroelectric plants in the Philippines and later became a recreational area for water sports and fishing.

This annual celebration, observed every fourth Sunday of January, includes a series of religious and cultural activities alongside the town fiesta.

The Moro-Moro, or “Komedya,” is performed the evening before the Festival, showcasing local talents in demanding roles with colorful costumes.

The “Paligong Poon” takes place at the Lumban River, where the icon of San Sebastian and hundreds of devotees float on “Kaskitos” (a fleet of large boats), holding lit candles and performing rituals across the river, known as “Lupi”.

During the feast, each barangay of Lumban features its own icon of the patron saint on a float, accompanied by the nine-day novena of the Hermanas of the town.

The festival includes a street dancing competition featuring schoolchildren in bright, colorful costumes inspired by the barong Tagalog and embellished with embroidery designs.
