Tarlac City will be celebrating its eighth annual Kaisa Festival this 19 January 2024. The day has been declared a special non-working holiday by President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. through Proclamation 438.

This holiday will give most of those who work or study in Tarlac City a three-day weekend because the holiday falls on a Friday this year.
