Kidapawan and nearby towns in North Cotabato, like Makilala and Magpet located at the foot of Mt. Apo, are home of durian, lanzones, mangosteen, rambutan and banana plantations. The area is suitable for growing fruits because of its cold weather and rich volcanic soil.
The Timpupo Fruit Festival includes a tribal day, which highlights the culture and tradition of the Manobos of North Cotabato; Search for Binibining Kalikasan; Musikahan sa Timpupo with the Dumaki band; regional banana investment and marketing forum; business matching; color run and night run; thematic costume parade; and live jamming at the Timpupo.
Try to experience and visit this once a year celebration in Kidapawan City.
