First staged in 2005, the Adivay Festival has grown into one of the more prominent festivals in the country. Most of the events and activities focus on celebrating the rich history, traditions, culture, arts, trades, and industries of Benguet. Highlights of the festival include the parade and canao on November 23, the Dongba Ni Kavajo at the Benguet Sports Center, and the Mr. & Ms. Benguet Pageant Coronation Night on November 24.
