The Feast of Saint Nicholas of Tolentino, also known as the Bonok-Bonok Festival, is observed in Surigao City, Philippines, every September 10. This festival honors the city’s patron saint, Nicholas of Tolentino, who was canonized in 1446 and is revered as the patron of various groups, including animals and children. The celebration has roots dating back to the mid-19th century but was officially established as the Bonok-Bonok Festival in 1984 following the devastation caused by Typhoon Ike. The festival features a multi-day cultural and religious observance, beginning on September 1 with solemn masses and culminating in the main celebration on September 10. Festivities include a traditional dance by the Mamanwa tribe, vibrant costumes, a street parade, beauty pageants, and various competitions. The San Nicolas de Tolentino Cathedral, consecrated in 1988, serves as a significant location for the celebrations.
