Kaamulan Festival 2023 Schedule of Activities

Kaamulan Festival 2023 in Bukidnon

Mga higala! It’s that time of the year when the Province of Bukidnon’s beloved and famous KAAMULAN FESTIVAL will be held again this March 23 to April 23, 2023!

Usually held in Malaybalay City from the last week of March to about mid-April, Kaamulan Festival is an ethnic festival highlighting the indigenous culture of Bukidnon, and honoring the custom and traditions of the seven (7) original tribal groups in the province namely – the Bukidnon, Higaonon, Talaandig, Manobo, Matigsalug, Tigwahanon and Umayamnon.

This is the gathering of the 7 tribes to celebrate and for thanksgiving for a bountiful harvest. The festival name is from a Binukid term “amul” which means gather.

Kaamulan Festival has become one of my favorite festivals in Mindanao. I am very much amazed with the colors, musical instruments used, the graceful movements of every performers during the street dancing, and the gigantic entries in the float parade.

So without further ado, here’s the updated Schedule of Activities for the Kaamulan Festival 2023 as of February 28, 2023.
