Lucban is a town in Quezon, on the foot of Mount Banahaw.
Lucban lies inland in Quezon, 24km north of Lucena. Most of the town is rainforest, and there is no dry season, so regular rainstorms can occur time by time.
The town town takes its name from the Tagalog word for the pomelo tree, "lukban", but the real origin is shrouded by ancient tales spread by word of mouth.

- Pahiyas Festival - (May) Locals throughout the town decorate their houses with native materials to celebrate a plentiful harvest, before the rainy season comes (though Lucban is rather rainy at any time of year as a rainforest town). The town is frequented by tourists when this festival is held, so, accommodations like transient homes and apartments become fully booked.
