KAAMULAN FESTIVAL
1st week of March/Malaybalay, Bukidnon

The Kaamulan Festival is celebrated every month of March by the people of Bukidnon, when the streets of Malaybalay take on that familiar "tribal" and Fiesta theme.  Banners, banderitas and beer will be norm, as well as the sweet, haunting sound of native music.  An early morning "Pamuhat" ritual kicks off the festivities, to be followed by an ethnic food fest, trade fairs and a lot of native dancing.  (Photo courtesy of the Department of Tourism)
