Ubi Festival - Bohol Events

Ubi Festival

January 21-23 | Tagbilaran CityBohol

 

Tagbilaran City pays tribute to a favorite plant--the ube. Join the Boholanos in their efforts to establish this tasty, purple-hued crop as a major agricultural product. Seminars, exhibits and contests galore. For almost half a millennium, the ubi tuber has been venerated by the Boholanos. To this day, the respect for the plant is still stronger than ever. The festival institutionalizes the ubi crop as the agro-historical geographical-religious symbol of Bohol, giving the ubi the recognition it rightfully deserves in the market. The festival features an exhibit, ubi contest, an agri-business investment opportunities seminar, and a cultural show.
