Manggahan Festival

The celebration

A month-long feast of thanksgiving

Originally a week-long festivity, the Manggahan Festival became a month-long event to celebrate the island’s rich culture and give thanks for a prosperous land where the sweetest mangoes are grown.

It is celebrated every summer to promote the island’s mango industry and to attract tourists. Besides the energetic street dancing and many activities, a favourite is the Mango-All-You-Can: pay a set fee and eat as many mangoes as you can in thirty minutes!
