The name Sinanggiyaw is taken from two traditional Cebuano words, Sinanggi meaning abundance of harvest and Sayaw meaning dance. Every October, the town is flushed with revelers, both local and tourists, dancing through the streets with parades and choreographed performances, the theme of which focuses on planting, harvesting and thanksgiving.
