Boracay Local Events
The Amihan Season is when Boracay's White Beach is at its best, with calm azure waters and offshore breezes. At this time Bulabog Beach is also busy with kitesurfing and windsurfing enthusiasts.
Traditionally the peak season on Boracay is from November to May and hence it also sees the island geared up to party and celebrate all the big holidays, Christmas and New Year, Chinese New Year and Holy Week. These super-peak times are when Boracay is at its busiest and liveliest with families and groups of friends flocking to the island to make the most of the festivities. If you want a quieter break then avoid these dates.
Other events held at this time include amazing Halloween spectacles, fantastic Christmas and New Year celebrations, the kiteboard and windsurfing championships are held in early January, the Kalibo Ati-Atihan in late January and the Dragon Boat races in May.
