The Pavvurulun Afi Festival is Tuguegarao City's annual Patronal Fiesta, held every early to mid-August to honor its patron saint, St. Hyacinth of Poland. It's Ibanag terms, pavvurulun means togetherness, and afi means fire.

Pavvurulun echoes the united strength or camaraderie of Tuguegaraoeños while Afi references the myth that Tuguegarao was once a forest burned down ("tuggui gari yaw"), then settlements eventually came in. The place is also infamous of its scorching heat in summer. It even recorded the highest temperature (not heat index) in the Philippines twice: 42.2 degrees Celsius on April 22, 1912, and May 11, 1969.

This year 2025, the fiesta is celebrated on August 8 to 17 through various activities like Pancit Festival, Nuang Karera, Mister and Miss Tuguegarao, Trike Show, Kalesa Spectacle, and Boda Ibanag with guests including PNP Chief Nicolas Torre III, 2010 Ms. Universe 4th runner up Venus Raj, OPM band Over October, and Join the Club.
