The Tacloban Festival is a grand celebration featuring three major events: the Subiran Regatta, a thrilling sailboat race at the San Juanico Strait; the Balyuan, a historical pageant reenacting the exchange of religious images between Basey and Tacloban; and the iconic Pintados Festival, where participants with body paint dance to the rhythmic beating of bamboo sticks, honoring the region's pre-colonial heritage and the Santo Niño.
