San Juan City Mayor Francis Zamora (riding atop the fire engine) leads the celebration of the annual "Wattah Wattah" Festival in San Juan City Monday, June 24.

San Juan City is especially noted for its unique celebration of the feast day of Saint John the Baptist, where residents and visitors alike are doused with water in a tradition called "basaan." This tradition is supposed to remind Filipino Catholics of their own baptism.
