MAY 24

The second day of the 2024 Kaogma Festival is jam-packed with events, ranging from smaller activities or palaro’s in the morning to an exciting mud race, a 3-on-3 basketball event in the afternoon to another music fest later on through the night (courtesy of local bands: Tothapi, Overheat, and Kunyan), and culminating into the day’s main event, Miss Kaogma 2024.

Mud Race

The Mud Race will have three different categories for participants. Firstly, the couple’s category where a partner has to carry their significant other. The second category is for a family relay race. And the last category is for the single men and women.

The event will be held in the Fuerte Complex starting at 3pm in the afternoon.

Battle of the Bands

While the Music Fest is undoubtedly one of the main reasons for attending the Kaogma Festival, our local aspiring bands wouldn’t want to fall behind in the festivities. With that, witness the top 10 Finalists for the Kaogma Festival’s Battle of the Bands featuring 10 aspiring musicians which will be held at around 5pm at the Capitol Grounds.

May 26

While the previous days were jam packed with events, the 4th day starts the mellowing out which will give you the opportunity to enjoy the scenery, explore the booths, or maybe stalk your favorite local celebrity. Although there are still a few notable events that you shouldn’t miss out on.

Tour De Kaogma

Don’t miss out on seeing which finalist will finally take home the gold and be proclaimed as the absolute best in the local sphere of dancing. Bare witness to their skills and talent, 5pm at the Capitol Grounds.

May 26 Music Fest

And of course, the night wouldn’t be the same without it ending with yet another Music Fest.

Don’t miss out on the popular artist lineup of: Apo Hiking Society, Adie, Gloc-9, Mayonnaise, The Itchyworms, Jeff Grecia, and Chocolate Factory.

May 27 – 28

The last two days of the Festival can be considered as a festive rest day. While the events start coming to a close the festivities will remain giving you ample time to enjoy anything non-event related that you’ve missed. Wanna get back to that food stall that had way too long of a line yesterday? Wanna visit some places locals recommended to you? Wanna sleep all day in your hotel room without a care in the world? you do you. However, there are still some notable events that you might be interested in.

The Big V

The Big V is a local singing competition happening in the Kaogma Festival where the top 10 finalists from the audition stages will finally go head to head in order to determine which singer has the biggest voice. The event is set on May 27 at around 6:30pm at the Capitol Grounds.

May 27 Music Fest

The final Music Fest for the event but still features some well known Filipino artists. Don’t miss out on Rico Blanco, Al James, Cup of Joe, and This Band.

Worship Fest

And the final event of the festival, happening on the last day is the Worship Fest. Bring the whole family and experience the joy of worshipping together in one spirit. Sing, dance, and worship the Lord. Happening on May 28 at around 4pm at the Capitol Grounds.
