Towns Fiesta
They say that the island of Bohol sinks about an inch in May due to the thousands of Bol-anons who come home to attend the many town and barrio fiestas celebrated during the month. You can almost feel this once you disembark from those overloaded ships docking at the Tagbilaran Port in May.
Fiestas in Bohol are occasions of great joy and merry-making, as well
as lots of free food. Almost every household in town or in the barrio
is on a welcome mode and, yes, you can literally go to any house, even
if you do not know the owner,
Experience this to believe. The following is a list of
Bohol town fiestas in chronological order and with their corresponding patron saints.
January 16 - Cortes - Santo Niño | July 25 - Batuan - Saint James |
