What is It
Introduction
Festivals are an expressive way to celebrate glorious heritage, culture
and traditions (Davis, 2021). They are meant to rejoice special moments and
emotions in our lives with our loved ones. They play an important role to add
structure to our social lives and connect us with our families and
backgrounds.
In the Philippines festivals are an integral aspect of the local
culture, known for their grand and vibrant celebrations . Festivals in
the Philippines are fairly common occurrence, with over 42,000 major
and minor festivals celebrated across the country (Asia Someday).
Given the Spanish influence on Catholic spirituality in the
Philippines, a number of festivals celebrated here are religion-
based. Besides that, there are a number of other festivals that m ark
important historic events. Irrespective of the origin, locals go all -out
to celebrate each of these festivals. Costumes, dances, parades, and
some of the most elaborate processions are a site worth witnessing.
Festival Dance
The Philippines has so many festivals: there are town fiestas celebrating
foundation days, patron saints and a combination of both. These festivals are
occasions when and where people converge. But what are festival dances?
According to Tobato (2014), festival dances are performed to the strong beats
of percussion instruments by a community of people sharing the same culture
usually done in honor of a Patron Saint or in thanksgiving of a bountiful
harvest. Moreover, festival dances draw peoples’ culture by portraying the
people’s way of life through movements, costumes and implements inherent to
their place of origin.
Furthermore, why do we celebrate festival dances? To conserve Filipino
traditions and values, we need festivals and dances. It is just a way to think of
past and be thankful to God for all the things given. A festival
is a celebration that repeats once in a year and involves special activities or
amusements. Further, the Ethnic Group Philippines (2016) mentioned
that festivals are reminders of our past; it gives us a glimpse of our rich
cultural heritage and at the same time connects us to our families and loved
ones. They are reflection of the unity of the Filipino community that despite
their economic, social, environmental, cultural and political challenges we face
every day, there can be no other race more resilient than ours.

Some of the Famous Festival Dances in the Country
Sinulog Festival
The Sinulog is an annual
festival held on the third Sunday of
January in Cebu City, Philippines.
The festival honors the child Jesus,
known as the Santo Niño (Holy
Child), patron of the city of Cebu. It
is a dance ritual that
commemorates the Cebuano
people’s pagan origin, and their
acceptance of Christianity. The
festival features a street parade
with participants in bright-colored
costumes dancing to the rhythm of
drums, trumpets, and native gongs.

Masskara Festival
The MassKara Festival is a
week-long festival held each year in
Bacolod City, the capital of Negros
Occidental province. The festival
features a street dance competition
where people from all walks of life
troop to the streets to see colorfully-
masked dancers gyrating to the
rhythm of Latin musical beats in a
display of mastery, gaiety,
coordination and stamina. The word
MassKara has a double meaning.
First, it is a fusion of the English
word “mass” or many and “kara”,
the Spanish word for “face.”
MassKara then becomes a “mass of
faces,” and these faces have to be
smiling to project Bacolod already
known in the late 70’s as the City of
Smiles.

Panagbenga Festival
Panagbenga is month-long
annual flower festival occurring
in Baguio. The festival, held during
the month of February, was created
as a tribute to the city’s flowers and
as a way to rise up from the
devastation of the 1990 Luzon
earthquake. The festival includes
floats that are decorated with
flowers unlike those used in
Pasadena’s Rose Parade. The festival
also includes street dancing,
presented by dancers clad in flower-
inspired costumes that is inspired
by the Bendian, an Ibaloi dance of
celebration that came from the
Cordillera region.
