The Kaumahan Festival was born out of this desire to celebrate the wealth
and bounty of the farmland and the sea through street dancing. The word
kaumahan means "farm" or "anything related to a rural area" in the Visayan
dialect, and the Kaumahan Festival is all about offering thanks to God for His
mercies and blessings for a plentiful crop.
Although the event only lasts a few days, the costumes and dance
routines take months to prepare. The locals take the celebrations seriously, with
competing groups competing to perform the most beautiful and compelling
dance in the parade.
