Festivals are more fun in the Philippines! As most people would say, a party here is called a fiesta. During a fiesta, different colorful “banderitas” can be seen hanging above the streets, children are dancing on the street wearing colorful costumes that are related to the festivity. For example is from the hometown where I grew up, Calauag, Quezon Philippines. Alimango festival is celebrated annually on the third week of May. Students of different school compete on a street dancing and wears Alimago-inspired costumes.  Several competitions were also held like cooking contest, bangkarerahan, alimango race, and the competition of the biggest and heaviest alimango. It is a week-long celebration for thanksgiving and promotion of products and tourism of the town. That is just one among the countless festivals in the country like Pahiyas in Lucban Quezon, Kadayawan sa Dabaw in Davao City, Sinulog in Cebu and many more!
