I stumbled upon the Dancing Fountains show by accident. There was not much to do in Vigan, so I just sat by the fountains before sunset watching the world go by and enjoying the gradual change of pace as the place got darker. It struck me that more and more people were gathering around the fountains, which triggered a memory of something I had read in some guide about a fountain show.

The show started at 7.30, but once I caught the start I could not tear myself away! I just kept thinking "this is good, just another 5 minutes more..."

Vigan's dancing fountain was an absolute gem! I wasn't expecting much, but let me tell you, the show was spectacular. It kicked off with a high-energy performance to Maneskin's version of "Beggin'", with the water jets perfectly in sync with the music.
But the show didn't stop there. They threw in a beautiful display set to the iconic soundtrack of Titanic, which was incredibly moving. For all the Filipino Pop fans out there, they even included SB19's hit song "Gento" in the mix!
The entire experience was truly unforgettable. The combination of water, music, and light created a dazzling display that was both entertaining and impressive.
