    Boracay Events and festivals 2017

    By Bans Beach / 9th September, 2017 / Blog / No Comments

    Boracay is not just White Beach. There is a thriving Tours and Activities scene with a huge range of things to do.

    There are a variety of festivals and events for your enjoyment all year around at Boracay Island. Not surprisingly, most occur during the high season. During the peaks of high season, it’s party time on boracay. So if you want to party and enjoy live music, plan your visit for Christmas and New year, during Holy Week (easter) or during school holidays in May. The many events during high season include the International Beach Volleyball Soccer, Frisbee and Skimboard Tournaments, Bikini and Muscle Man contests and the Paraw Regatta (a race for outtriger sailing boats). Everybody is welcome to join some of these events. The exact dates for many of these events are not decided until several months or weeks before they occur.’

    There several seasonal events and festivals in Boracay, so if you’re just planning for a trip, you might check out these dates first:

    1. Ati-atihan Festival (January, 2nd Sunday) – the annual celebration in honor of Santo Niño, boracay’s version of the very famous Ati-Atihan Festival in Kalibo.

    2. Boracay international Funboard Cup (January, 2nd half) – Since 1989, Boracay has been one leg of the Southeast Asia Funboard Cup for windsurfing enthusiasts. Held in waters off Bulabog, on the eastern side of the island.
