Seasons and Festivals

Dry season, rainy season and a calendar full of fiestas.

Cebu City's biggest day of the year: a festival of faith, drums and dance for the Santo Niño.

A month of flowers in the mountain city, ending with street dancing and floats covered in blooms.

Smiling masks, Latin beats and a city-wide party in Bacolod, the 'City of Smiles'.

Almost every town in the Philippines has a fiesta. These are the big ones worth planning a trip around.

Carols in September, star lanterns everywhere and dawn Masses in December: the longest Christmas season in the world.

A week of drums, soot-painted faces and dancing in the streets of Kalibo, and the festival that inspired many others.
