Festivals

This month-long tribute to Baguio’s status as the summer capital of the Philippines celebrates the city’s beautiful flowers. It was established in 1990 to help the residents recover from the Luzon earthquake. There are colorful floats and dancers decorated with flowers that parade through the streets in a city-wide carnival.

This week-long celebration is one of the few ethnic cultural festivals in the country. Held in Malaybalay, it commemorates the anniversary of the establishment of Bukidnon as a province and honors the culture of the tribal groups in the region. Traditional tribal costumes are worn and the people perform their native dances in the streets.
