Boracay Yearly Events

Attractions throughout the year:
Boracay offers a variety of events for your enjoyment all the year round.

Boracay New Years and Holidays, like the Boracay Bikini Open not surprisingly, most occur during the high season. During the peaks of high season it's Boracay Party Time, so if you want to take part in the many Boracay Events and enjoy live music during your Boracay Vacation, plan your visit for Christmas and New Year, during Holy Week (Easter) or during school holidays in May.

Boracay offers many Boracay events during high season that include the International Beach Volleyball, Soccer and Frisbee Tournaments, Boracay Bikini Open, Muscle Man Contest, the Paraw Regatta ( a race for out-rigger sailing boats ) and the Dragon Boat Race.

Boracay events like the above mentioned, some of these you are welcome to join. The exact dates for many of these Boracay events are not decided until several months or weeks before they occur. Some seem to happen spontaneously!

Boracay offers a number of important Boracay events that occur the same time each year.
