The Binongan Tribe Fetival has a major event in the municipality since its inception four years ago, headed by the Abra Guimpong Association (AGAS) President Samuel Dapapa Sr. All of the games are unique in its own especially to the people belonging to the tribe not only in Licuan-Baay but in different municipalities that surrounds it.
