Maytime Festival is the annual festival happening in Antipolo City in honor of its patron Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage to thank her for guiding her children for all their travels most especially and figuratively about the travel of life.

Maytime Festival as the name implies happens every Month of May. The original commemoration starts from first Tuesday of May up to First Tuesday of July. However the City Government conducts programs and competitions in the entire month of May and sometimes celebration starts from the latter days of April.

On the other hand, the religious side and the right span of the festival still exist but just being outwitted by the governmental way of celebrating it. It is best to visit the Shrine of Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage during this time and pray for your intentions. Again it is from first Tuesday of May until 2nd Tuesday of July.

The city government of Antipolo conducts beauty contests, summits, motorcades, parade, photography contest, music contests, painting contests, concerts, bazaar and cultural presentations to name some of the activities in relation to the promotion of the city culture, tourism, and economy. While the Antipolo Cathedral conducts processions, biblical quiz bees, concerts and additional masses to accommodate tourists coming from all walks of life and all placmuch-awaitedmuch awaited part of the Maytime Festival is the SumakaH Festival Streetdance competition. It is where local Barangays and institutions battle for the much coveted Best Streetdancers of the year. This Festival is very extravagant. I myself, for the past many years, is still being amazed by the street dance competition happening almost whole day. Rain or shine the participants will dance on the streets in honor of the patron. It is just a very joyful event happening on the streets. Drums and lyres, sing and dances will wake your soul and say Viva Antipolo!.
