Philippine festivals and events

Many people from around the world visit the Philippines to witness the many festivities that are being celebrated and the way how Filipinos celebrate a fiesta. These festivals (fiesta in Filipino) also portray the culture that is handed down from generation to generation. Visitors around the world feel the power of the fiesta and of the irrepressibly festive spirit of Filipinos.
The fiesta is part of Filipino culture. Through good times and bad times, the fiesta must go on. The most elaborate festival of all is Christmas, a season celebrated with all the display and show the fun-loving Filipino can handle.
People celebrate every festival with excitement, enthusiasm and high spirits and they enjoy every moment when celebrating the fiesta. The event or fiesta is characterized by the community to express the warm welcome of the harvest, express religious celebrations, or commemorate a historic event. It is the strong culture in this society that makes them showing and strengthening the shared history, values, and experiences of a specific group of people.
The submenu shows pages with some of the many festivals during that period. Although I have double checked every festival, the information on it comes from various websites and the exact date a fiesta is held may not be correct.

 

This is surely not a list of all fiestas in the Philippines. If you know of specific festivals or events and they are not stated here, please let me know as much details as possible (picture is appreciated) and I will publish them on these pages.
