Highlighting the province?s 93rd Founding Anniversary is the “Kaamulan Festival (social gathering)” that was conceptualized in 1974.

Kaamulan” aims to establish and gain national identity for the hilltribes in Northern Mindanao, likewise, making these highland tribes become strong and self-sufficient through their assimilation into the mainstream of society.

The festival features agricultural and livestock shows, food fest, sports, cultural and thanksgiving activities featuring the indigenous people from the different hill tribes of the province.

Rich in cultural heritage and flourished with scenic spots, Bukidnon is destined to be a tourist attraction in Northern Mindanao. (PIA Bukidnon)
