What the 2026 programme was
The city published a dated September programme. It mixed parish rites with a coastal cleanup, a food bazaar, a street-dancing competition, a queen search and a closing Mass. Starting times and road closures were not complete in the notice used here. Do not treat a missing hour as a free-for-all. It means the city had not published it.
What not to book from this page
4 to 10 September 2026 is over. A page that still says the festival ‘runs’ those dates is stale. The next edition may fall in early September, because that is the pattern, but this review has no 2027 city order. Ask Tandag before you buy a ferry.
If you go next time
- The cathedral rite and the boulevard fireworks were different days in 2026. A one-day stop can miss the one you came for.
- Street dancing and a parish wedding are not the same event. Dress and behave for the one on the programme.
- Tandag is in Surigao del Sur. It is not a Dinagyang or Sinulog booking.
- September weather on this coast can shut a water trip. Do not assume the parade route from last year.
