Ammungan Festival is the Anniversary celebration of the establishment of the Provincial Government of Nueva Vizcaya. The 'Ammungan'(gathering) festival, formerly "Panagyaman" runs from May 20 to 24, yearly featuring cultural shows, provision of government services and entertainment activities among others. The event seeks to gather the ethnic tribes of the province such as the Isinai, Ibaloi, Kalanguya, Iwak, Gaddang, Bugkalot, Kankanaey, Ifugao including lowland inhabitants such as the Ilocanos, Tagalogs and Pangasinenses.
The term 'Ammungan'(gathering) was popularized in 1989 and 1996 to showcase the culture of indigenous people in Nueva Vizcaya. In 2009, the grand festival paved the way to the birth of Tribu-Biscayano-conglomeration of the different indigenous peoples in the province.
Ammungan Festival is celebrated along with the Founding Anniversary of the establishment of the civil government of Nueva Vizcaya highlighted by an agro-industrial trade fair, street parades, float competition, cultural presentations by indigenous groups participated by the 15 towns of the province and others activities.
