Bukidnon Kaamulan Festival 2012 schedule of activities (UPDATED)
2012 KAAMULAN FESTIVAL – It’s the Bukidnon festival that everyone looks forward to – the yearly Kaamulan Festival in the Province of Bukidnon.
This time, the 2012 Kaamulan Festival will start on February 16, 2012 and will end on March 10, 2012, the very same day Bukidnon celebrates its foundation day.
The Kaamulan Festival 2012 schedule of activities can be found below.
Kaamulan Festival Bukidnon is the annual gathering of Bukidnon’s 7 hill tribes namely Bukidnon, Talaandig, Manobo, Higaonon, Matigsalug, Tiguahanon and Umayamnon.
Now if you check the Kaamulan 2010 schedule and even the Kaamulan Festival 2011 schedule of activities and you compare it with this year’s sked, you will see that there really are no “big” changes. We’re not sure if that’s a good thing or what. What do you think?
Remember, the Kaamulan Festival is supposedly the province’s biggest tourism event. Just recently, news reports came out stating that the 2012 Kaamulan Festival is the most expensive in the history of Bukidnon.
