Known to the devout of Quezon Province and even beyond, the town of Dolores is home to the Shrine of Our Lady of Sorrows and its people are as zealous in keeping their heritage alive with spectacles drawing visitors both near and far.

The famous “Pangkuan” is held every Friday of the week. Many people from the neighboring towns come to Dolores to attend the mass in honor of the Birhen Dolorosa. It is also known for the yearly “Viernes de Dolores” which falls either in March or April. It features the holy Mass and a “Turumba”, a dance praising the town’s patron saint. After the procession, most of the pilgrims proceed to the river or a resort for a refreshing bath of cold water.
