Neighbourhood

Quezon City

Good to know

The novena in the days before the feast is far quieter if you want to see the image up close without a crowd. Quezon Avenue closes in sections for the procession, so arrive early and plan to leave on foot toward the MRT rather than by car.

About this event

The image of Our Lady of La Naval has been carried through the streets around Santo Domingo since the seventeenth century, and the Dominicans keep the feast on the second Sunday of October. It is one of the largest Marian processions in the country, with dozens of carrozas sent by parishes, confraternities and private families falling in behind the main image. The ivory figure itself is a declared National Cultural Treasure.
