The celebration is held at Anilag Festival Ground at the Laguna Provincial Government Compound,and is participated by 6 cities and 24 municipalities.

This festival started under the administration of former Governor Joey Lina, then it is continued by Ning Ning Lazaro, but the festival’s name was changed under the administration of Governor E. R. Ejercito wherein the festival was called “La Laguna”. In 2016, during the administration of Governor Ramil Hernandez they restored to the name of Anilag Festival, the restored name of festival because he believed to the experts that says that changing the name of the festival even if the administration changes like Panagbenga Pestival of Baguio,  MasKara Festival of Bacolod City, Sinulog Festival of Cebu, etc. So that the festival will be more famous in the no only Philippines, but also international tourist.
