As a tropical island, Siquijor remains hot and very humid year-round, with the possibility of rain at any time. You’ll see the lowest levels of rainfall from February to May, though always pack a waterproof layer just in case. Even during the rainy season, which is from October to December, you’re likely to still see a few hours of sunshine each day.
Festivals celebrating Filipino culture take place throughout the year — including the Bugwas Festival, held the last week in August, which pays tribute to St. Augustine for a bountiful harvest and clean water. Siquijor is nicknamed Isla del Fuego due to the abundance of fireflies that make it their home, and locals celebrate these venerated insects with the Dilaab Festival, a day full of costumed street performances and dancing in October.
