Originally, this was a week-long festivities however it was changed into a month-long event so as to celebrate the island’s rich culture and their feast of thanksgiving for having a prosperous land where the sweetest mangoes are being grown. This festival is celebrated every summer season to promote the burgeoning mango industry of the island and also to attract tourists.

One of the popular section of the festival, aside from the energetic and vibrant street dance and various activities, is the Mango-All-You-Can. It is a fun and very exciting challenge where tourist should pay a specific amount of money and they need to eat as many mangoes as they can within thirty minutes!
