The 2025 Fiesta De Los Toros in Nasugbu, Batangas wrapped up two days of vibrant celebration on December 2 and 3, marked by strong community participation, cultural pageantry, and deeply rooted religious traditions. The festivities opened with dawn Masses at the St. Francis Xavier Parish Church, first in honor of the Mahal na Birhen ng Escalera and then San Francisco Javier, drawing large crowds of parishioners and festival participants. Immediately after the December 2 Mass, the Bailar Ala Toro Festival Dance Parade energized the town as fourteen groups—from schools and senior associations to Zumba and LGBTQ+ organizations—filled the streets with colorful costumes and synchronized performances. Their routines culminated later that afternoon in a well-attended dance exhibition at Plaza De Roxas, followed by modern evening events including a TikTok Dance Challenge, Videoke Challenge, and live performances headlined by Sweethearts, Amazing Peanut, and Noelle.
The momentum carried into December 3 with the Parada de los Toros and a grand showcase of marching bands that dominated the streets from early morning until late afternoon. Traditional elements such as the Suwagan ng Toro, Bayle (Sayaw sa Kalsada), and Sayaw ng Papuri took place in front of the parish church, drawing enthusiastic spectators who braved the heat to witness culturally significant performances. The festival concluded with a fireworks display and a live concert featuring Viva artists at Plaza De Roxas, closing the celebration with music, bright lights, and communal cheer.
