Intramuros to host Grand Santacruzan again in 2026

Following this year’s celebration, the Grand Santacruzan Intramuros 2026 is confirmed to take place on May 18, returning to its symbolic venue at San Agustin Church and the scenic Puerto Real Gardens in Manila.

This annual event is more than a parade—it’s a living tradition that showcases the stories of faith, the beauty of the Filipina, and the vibrance of Filipino heritage. Each year, the procession features a lineup of queens, angels, and biblical figures, reenacting religious history in a festive and meaningful way.

The Santacruzan also serves as a platform to strengthen family and community bonds, teach youth about Filipino values and Catholic faith, encourage self-confidence among participants, and promote unity and hospitality among Filipinos

The event is actively participated in by children, families, and models, with live performances and awards adding to the festive atmosphere. As always, it remains a proud tradition that continues to inspire reverence and celebration in modern Filipino culture.
