As the organization of the world heritage cities was created on a 8 September, it was decided, as a commemoration of this flagship event, that 8 September be declared "Solidarity Day of the World Heritage Cities". All world heritage cities are invited to celebrate this day once a year. Solidarity is a unity or agreement of feeling or action, especially among individuals with a common interest; mutual support within a group. Every September, Vigan City celebrates the World Heritage Cities Solidarity Cultural Festival. This month-long festivity, in solidarity with other World Heritage Cities around the world, aims to strengthen the pride in the city’s history and culture, promote friendship and diversity between countries and serves as a great venue for forging ties and understanding through community’s involvement in the city’s various activities that highlights love for culture, arts and entertainment.
