Sandugo Festival
Why it ranks
Bohol's month-long July festival commemorating the 1565 blood compact between Datu Sikatuna and Miguel López de Legazpi, run by the Bohol Provincial Tourism Office; it is anchored on Tagbilaran City Charter Day (1 July) and Bohol Day (22 July), with the Sandugo street-dancing competition in late July.
Don't miss: Watch the Sandugo street-dancing competition and the re-enactment of the blood compact.
Best for: Visitors to Bohol in July who want a cultural programme (Bantawan shows, ukulele festival, street dancing) on top of the Chocolate Hills and Panglao beaches.
Good to know: The detailed schedule is released on the provincial tourism site as a calendar image each year; events are spread across the whole month, so check which weekend has the street dancing.
