The town is 107 kilometres south of Manila and approximately 23 kilometres from Lucena City. It is traversed by the Maharlika Highway and the Philippine National Railways' Southrail line headed towards Legazpi City in Albay. It is bordered by Mount Banahaw to the north, San Juan, Batangas to the south, Tiaong and Dolores to the west, and Sariaya to the east. The municipality has a total area of 175 km².

Candelaria is the second-largest industrial center of the province, after Lucena City. Among the municipalities in Quezon province, Candelaria has the most desiccated coconut factories and oil refineries, such as Peter Paul, Primex, Pacific Royal, SuperStar, Licup Oil Mills, and others, which employ thousands of people.

Barangays

Candelaria is politically subdivided into 25 barangays.

Candle Festival

The town fiesta is celebrated on the 5th of February to honor the patron saint San Pedro Bautista. Since 2004, Monsignor Charles Herrera, the parish priest, started his devotion to Nuestra Senora de Candelaria and honored her with a Candle Festival every February 2nd. The celebration was concluded with a procession through the streets of the town to bless the homes along the route. The residents decorated their houses with votive candles and miniature lights, creatively, using bamboo, palm leaves, coconut husk, flowers, and other native materials to accentuate the image of the Nuestra Senora de Candelaria as a centerpiece.
