    PANAGBENGA FESTIVAL

    The term “Panagbenga” is Kankanaey for “season of blooming.” It’s the perfect
    name for an annual celebration of flowers in one of the coolest destinations in the
    country—Baguio City!

    The Panagbenga Festival celebrates the history of Baguio, the Cordilleras, and their
    beautiful flora. It is a month-long celebration in February, making it a perfect
    Valentine’s trip for you and a special someone.

    KAAMULAN FESTIVAL
    The Kaamulan Festival in Bukidnon, located in Northern Mindanao, is a non-religious
    festival that celebrates the seven tribes that reside in Bukidnon.

    The origin of this festival goes back to the pre-colonial era of the Philippines. The
    tribes often gathered to mark their year’s harvests and other milestones in their
    community. They’ve continued the tradition since, coming together for a celebration
    in Malaybalay, the capital of Bukidnon.

    BANGUS FESTIVAL
    The Dagupan City Bangus Festival celebrates the community’s bangus (milkfish)
    production, primarily because the province is known as the bangus capital of the
    country. The province produces roughly 16,000 tons of bangus annually.

    Bangus is a popular delicacy that every Filipino has grown up enjoying. What makes
    it such an excellent fish is how versatile it is; you can enjoy it dried, fried, or even
    smoked.

    RODEO MASBATENO FESTIVAL


    The Rodeo Masbateno Festival is among the more fascinating festivals in the country
    because of how it differs from traditional cultural celebrations. It’s more similar to
    celebrations in the American West, featuring cow-wrestling and lassoing events.

    The festival was created in the 1990s by a group of ranchers known as Makusog as a
    way for them to celebrate the community’s strong livestock production. In 2023, it
    drew over 100,000 tourists to Masbate, further stimulating the island’s tourism
    industry.

    KADAYAWAN FESTIVAL
    Davao City’s Kadayawan Festival is one of the grandest non-religious festivals in the
    Philippines. What makes it so? A hint is from the name of the festival itself,
    “Kadayawan,” which comes from the Mandaya term “Madaya,” meaning “valuable”
    or “beautiful.” It’s a large celebration of the city’s 11 ethno-linguistic tribes and their
    yearly harvest. For the third week of August, Davao City becomes a burst of color
    and energy, celebrating its local culture with bustling street markets, lively parades,
    and the distinctive aroma of Durian filling the air. It’s a popular destination for many
    first-time travelers looking to get a taste of what the Philippines’ festival culture has
    to offer
