Farmers and agricultural communities will take center stage at the Buglasan Farm Family Congress 2026, a two-day gathering celebrating the hard work, resilience, and contributions of farming families in Negros Oriental. As part of Buglasan Festival 2026, the congress will take place on October 22–23 at Quezon Park in Dumaguete City, bringing participants together for learning, camaraderie, and community celebration. The event was announced by the Negros Oriental Provincial Tourism Board.
Two Days Dedicated to Farming Communities
The Buglasan Farm Family Congress recognizes the important role farmers and their families play in supporting local communities and the agricultural sector. Beyond producing food, farming families contribute to rural livelihoods, preserve agricultural knowledge, and help sustain local economies. The congress provides an opportunity to recognize their efforts while bringing members of agricultural communities together. With its focus on learning and fellowship, the two-day gathering also creates space for participants to share experiences, exchange ideas, and strengthen connections with fellow farmers and community members.
A Meaningful Part of Buglasan Festival 2026
Known as Negros Oriental's Festival of Festivals, Buglasan brings the province's communities together through cultural presentations, competitions, entertainment, and activities celebrating local identity. The Farm Family Congress adds an agricultural and community-focused dimension to the celebration. While other Buglasan activities highlight music, dance, food, and local talent, this gathering shines a spotlight on the people whose work helps support communities across the province. Held at Quezon Park in Dumaguete, the congress also gives festivalgoers another opportunity to appreciate the people and industries that contribute to Negros Oriental's character and development.
Honoring Farmers and Building a Brighter Future
The Buglasan Farm Family Congress is more than a gathering—it is an opportunity to recognize the dedication of farming families and the value of working together toward a stronger agricultural future. By bringing agricultural communities together for two days of learning and celebration, the event highlights the importance of supporting farmers and recognizing their contributions to the next generation. For those following Buglasan Festival 2026, the congress offers a meaningful look at another part of Negros Oriental's identity: the people who cultivate the land, sustain livelihoods, and help keep local communities thriving.
