Festival Dances
Festival dances are cultural dances performed to the strong beats of percussion instruments by a
community of people sharing the same culture usually done in honor of a Patron Saint or as a
thanksgiving for a bountiful harvest. Festival dances may be religious or secular in nature. But the best
thing about festivals is that they add to the merry-making and festivities of a place where they are
celebrated, the reason why they are called festival dances after all. Festival dances draw the people’s
culture by portraying the people’s way of life through movements, costumes and implements inherent to
their place of origin.
Some of the famous festivals in the country include Sinulog of Cebu, Dinagyang of Iloilo, Ati-
atihan of Kalibo, Aklan, Buyogan and Lingayan of Leyte, Bangus of Dagupan, T’nalak of South
Cotabato, Masskara of Bacolod City, Bambanti of Isabela, and Kadayawan of Davao. Many dances,
especially from Luzon, are now paving their way to join the country’s festivals, the Aliwan Fiesta,
which is done in the month of April.
Filipinos do festivals primarily to celebrate unity amidst diversity of cultures. The value of
industry and hard work that brings about bountiful yield is also one of the reasons of the celebration.
Festivals have been a consistent crowd-drawing activity which in a way uplifts the economy of one’s
place due to its tourism and entertainment value.
