Kulambo Festival (El Nido Town Fiesta)

11° 10.8′ N · 119° 23.4′ E · approximate

El Nido's own town fiesta, when dancers parade down the main street in costumes stitched from mosquito nets, with singing contests and food stalls.

Practical

Approx: plotted at the town centre. TripBase: typically mid-March (about March 15-18), tied to the municipality's founding anniversary; started in 1999 as an anti-malaria campaign. Dates shift each year - confirm with the El Nido Municipal Tourism Office. March is one of the driest, calmest months in Bacuit Bay, so it fits a NE-monsoon cruise.
