Celebrated every August 25, the Kawayan Festival honors the town's primary craft—bamboo. The festival features street dancing, bamboo-inspired costumes, and exhibits of locally made bamboo products like furniture and baskets.

Originally called Balibago (named after the Balibago River), the town was once part of Taal. It gained independence in 1861 and was renamed San Luis in honor of its patron saint, St. Louis (San Luis Gonzaga).

San Luis is a coastal municipality in western Batangas. It is bordered by Taal to the north, Bauan to the east, and the Balayan Bay to the west. It is approximately 108 km from Manila.
