Welcome to this page about the amazing Bukidnon Kaamulan Festival! There is nothing quite like it in the world. It is not carnaval in the style of Rio de Janeiro or Venice. It is a historic gathering of tribes. It is colourful and emotional, a vivid celebration of tribal life. If you are in the Philippines at this time, it is definitely not to be missed! Instead of your regular entertainment of poker.de, cards or a nightclub, come and experience something that is truly unique. It is fun for the entire family! Don’t forget to bring your camera to capture the spectacular parade. You will never forget the experience.
