Cebu Bon Odori 2026 would not have been possible without the incredible support of our volunteers.

Nearly 100 volunteers from different backgrounds came together to help make this event a success. From setup and registration to crowd management, backstage support, clean-up, and countless other tasks, every contribution mattered.

Last night, we gathered to celebrate that achievement together at our Volunteer Victory Party.

Thank you for your hard work, dedication, teamwork, and passion. Cebu Bon Odori is built by the community, and you are a big part of what makes it special.

Daghang salamat, everyone!

To everyone who made Cebu Bon Odori 2026 possible,

On behalf of the Japanese Association of Cebu and the Cebu Bon Odori 2026 Executive Committee, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all of you.

Over the course of two incredible days, approximately 25,000 people gathered together to celebrate Japanese and Filipino culture, friendship, music, dance, food, and community.

This event could never have been realized through the efforts of the organizers alone.

We would like to sincerely thank all sponsors, performers, vendors, volunteers, staff members, partner organizations, security teams, media partners, and every single visitor who joined us this year.

We would also like to express our sincere appreciation to the Consulate-General of Japan in Cebu for its official support of the event.

In addition, we are deeply grateful to the City Government of Mandaue, Hon. Mayor Thadeo “Jonkie” Ouano, the City Council, police, fire department, emergency response teams, and all government offices and personnel who provided their support and cooperation for the successful and safe implementation of the event.

To all the visitors who came with smiles, energy, respect, and appreciation for Japanese culture — thank you for making the atmosphere of Cebu Bon Odori 2026 truly special.

Seeing the happiness and excitement shared by so many people reminded us once again why this event is so meaningful.

We hope Cebu Bon Odori will continue to serve as a bridge of friendship and cultural exchange between Japan and the Philippines for many years to come.

Thank you very much, and we look forward to seeing you again next year.

“Leave the place cleaner than you found it.”

This is one of the values deeply rooted in Japanese culture, and it is a spirit that was also shared throughout Cebu Bon Odori 2026.

Thanks to the good manners and cooperation of our visitors, the dedication of the volunteers who helped with waste segregation, and especially the incredible support of GUUN, the festival grounds were kept clean and organized throughout the event.

We would also like to express our heartfelt appreciation to the team from QQ English, who spent the entire day today helping clean the venue even after the festival had ended.

And finally, sincere thanks to S&R Membership Shopping for providing this wonderful venue for Cebu Bon Odori 2026.

Cebu Bon Odori is not only about music, food, and performances.
It is also about respect, community, cooperation, and sharing culture together.

Thank you very much to everyone who helped make this possible.
