Also known as the T\u2019Boli Tribal Festival, the Lem-Lunay is more than just a festival for the T\u2019Boli Tribe. It\u2019s a thanksgiving festival that originally brought together 6 major tribes in South Cotabato: the T\u2019Boli, the Ubo, the Manobo, the Kalangan, the Maguindanao, and the Tasaday to celebrate their heritage.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was originally done to celebrate the feast of Sta. Cruz in Lake Sebu, but has since evolved to a full-scale cultural festival.<\/span><\/p>\n

In recent years, the festival has grown to include tribal representatives from nearby provinces as well as becoming more and more T\u2019Boli. Festival highlights include a commemorative mass held during the last day of the Festival. It\u2019s a unique mixture of Catholic and tribal rites that will amaze and astound anyone who sees it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Horse fights, tribal dances, and games all add to the spectacle that is the Lem-Lunay Festival.<\/span><\/p>\n

No official schedule has been released as of today, but the festival should take place during the third week of September.<\/span><\/p>\n
