Sangyaw Festival

Jun 29–30 yearly · Parade of Lights Jun 29, fiesta day Jun 30

Tacloban's street dance festival in honour of San Pedro — Leyte's biggest pre-Sinulog street performance, with competing barangay contingents dancing in full costume along Real Street. The festival also doubles as a Yolanda (Haiyan) resilience commemoration in its post-2013 forms. Tip: book accommodation in Tacloban 6–8 weeks out; hotels fill with Eastern Visayas visitors and the crowd on Real Street is thicker than it looks from photos.
