I once dreamed of swimming with this mammoth in the waters of Donsol, Sorsogon and still dreaming of it until it happens! :D
The festival is held annually during the summers of April 28-30 to give due respect to their patron animal the "butanding" and a thanksgiving for all the blessings it brings to the people of Donsol.
A long fluvial procession just at the mouth of the long and winding Donsol River where a large pod of Butandings usually converge at this time of the year, is the highlights the Festival.
The festival is highlighted by a street parade.
Wish to be here next year :D
