Karakol Festival of Mamburao Occidental Mindoro is celebrated every 10th of October in honor of the town’s patron saint Nuestra Señora Del Pilar. This parade is a festive celebration in the streets of the town wherein the parishioners joyfully carry the patron saint with jovial music while dancing and praising with the belief that they will be blessed with prosperous life and good health. Street dancers wear colourful dresses and hats decorated with fresh flowers. This celebration started since 1970.
Fluvial Parade comes after the town’s Karakol Festival. This is to show their thanksgivingfor the good harvest from the sea and rivers that surround the municipality. This annual event happens every October 11. This procession in the river is demonstrated by a parade of small and big motor boats decorated festively by the owners. The main attraction of this celebration is the biggest boat that carries the town’s patron saint.
