August brings the annual Kadagatan Festival, when<br />
fishermen pay tribute to the sea for its bountiful<br />
harvest in a week of fun, folly, dancing, parades<br />
and the National Skimboarding Championships. On<br />
display during festival week are the Mini Basnig,<br />
miniature sized outrigger boats, painstakingly carved<br />
to precise dimensions by talented and highly skilled<br />
local craftsmen. Mercedes has so much to offer, it is<br />
a must place to visit when holidaying in Bicol.<br />
