Of all the many amazing places that can be found in the Philippines, the province of Camarines Sur is one of the fastest-rising tourist centers in the country, with many local attractions that draw in visitors from near and far, and also with colorful festivals that embody the unique and vibrant culture that the Bicolanos have possessed throughout the ages.  The Karanowan Fish-tival is such an event that showcases the Bicolanos' devotion to its local produce as well as a thanksgiving to the many blessing that have been endowed to them by nature.

Celebrated on February 15, this fish-tival was derived from a local dialect "Ranow" meaning lake, spawned of giving significance to the beautiful Lake Bato, which teems with numerous species of fish, such as the well-known "tabios", tilapia nilotica, carp, eel and many others.  Events, parades and exhibits occured at different intervals througout the festival and brought smiles to participants and visitors alike.
