Rosquillos Festival
The Rosquillos Festival is an annual event held in the town of Liloan in honor of its patron saint, San Ferdinand El Rey. The festival also celebrates and showcases the local delicacy called “rosquillos”. Rosquillos are cookies that are circular in shape with flower-like edges. It is a mixture of flour, egg, sugar, shortening and baking powder. The first rosquillos were originally baked in 1907 by Margarita “Titay” T. Frasco using her clay oven or “hudnohan”. The name means “ringlet” in Spanish (from rosca, “ring”).
The Rosquillos Festival serves as a platform to promote tourism, boost the local economy, and celebrate the unique culture and culinary traditions of the town of Liloan.
