One of the most spectacular highlights in celebrating the 209th Founding Anniversary of Aguilarenos was the 2014 Ansakket Festival or commonly known as Malagkit Festival (Tagalog) or to term in English is The Glutinous Rice / Sticky Rice Festival. Hovering to the outskirts area all the way from the north-western part of Pangasinan, low-land Aguilar is very rich in rice sticky grains and apparently farming is residents' main local occupation. Farming is yet the people's hobby they are proud of.
As part of this first-ever celebration, July 16, 2014 marked the biggest event Aguilar has ever honored. It is where you would taste different and most likely unique recipes on How to Cook Sticky Rice Grains Aguilar Version. We've got everything you wanted to think of and taste it from your watery mouth. Probably, one thing that captured my eye was this spicy and sweet bibingka (a variety of rice cake). There were many of the best yet sweetest sticky rice recipes you'll just about to witness by your eyes.
A part of this, the municipal council also organized streetdancing/ritual competition held at the heart of the town. Joined by participants coming from the four corners of the blessed, happy suburb, the faest became more colorful and cheerful. Well, it's main purpose is to acknowledge and honor the blessings the town patron, St. Joseph The Patriarch (San Jose) has given to everyone in the village town and to commemorate the festivity of Ansakket of course.
