With the prestigious banner festival “Musikahan sa Tagum Festival”- the biggest activity and tourist enticement of the city and even of the whole province of Davao Del Norte, Tagum City continues to aim to be the Music City of the South. This festival, with its successful management and implementation, has attracted the hosting of the 3rd International Rondalla last February 12 to 19, 2011. It was participated by delegates from all over the country and different parts of the globe: Russia, China, Singapore, India, Mexico, Thailand, Indonesia, Iran, Israel, South Korea, Taiwan and USA.

 It is a festival celebrated during the month of September up to October that gathers the Durian Growers from the province of Davao del Norte and Compostela Valley and convene in the City of Tagum provide and offer the lowest rate of Durian fruits for the consumers. During the festival celebration, several cultural presentations are showcased nightly to give entertainment to the people around taking good times with the Durian fruits.

Aside from festivals and events, 

Tagum City offers its top three destinations:

 few years ago, Tancuan River in Liboganon and Bingcungan started capturing the heart of visitors around and beyond Tagum and is up-to-presently often being affirmed for its successful Mangrove preservation and rehabilitation, and thus, lead to the creation of the “Tagum City River Cruise”. This river cruise takes visitors through an immersion trip around the coastal areas and wetlands. There are plans to install a recreational ferry where 20 – 30 tourists can experience enjoying breath taking sights while being pampered with the boat’s on-board spa amenities.

We have Tagum City’s Christ the King Cathedral located in Magugpo South houses Asia's Biggest Rosary. The place is a frequent stop for Catholic pilgrims, the faithful and other visitors from in and around Tagum City.  This is where the city usually opens and culminates the “Flores de Tagumeño” – Tagum City’s unique way of celebrating the Filipino tradition, “Flores de Mayo”

 Every 5:30 pm, the roads around the Magugpo Poblacion are put to closure for a Night Market – which can be basically described as an outdoor mall. Strategically placed around the Tagum City Trade and Cultural Center where events often occur, a figure of local, national and foreign tourists dine and shop in this unique feature of Tagum City.

Though building in progress and functional only during festivals, especially during the “Musikahan sa Tagum”, where most activities for the event are held, or when there are concerts, the New City Hall of Tagum in Brgy. Apokon, is a photogenic site for tourists with its modern design adorned by sculptures crafted by the famous Kublai. On common days, locals and visitors often jog or just stroll and picnic around the spacious area encircling this promising landmark during early mornings and afternoons.

 A few turns from the New City Hall, the Energy Park is another part of the city where visitors can bask in the serenity of nature. Picnics and strolls are common activities in the “E – Park” with visitors from around the locality and sometimes from other places. It is generally a place of solitude except for when the often scheduled motorcycle drag race on its road strip comes about – this activity is a magnet not only to local race enthusiasts but also to those from neighboring regions in Mindanao for camping and football activities.

The Regina Rosarii in Magdum also receives visitors, especially Catholics, from in and out of Tagum for its 59-step stairway representing the 59 beads of the Holy Rosary.

With stable water and electricity, affordable and secure public transportation – cabs and the unique apple-green “Toyota-Type” tricycles, wide and palm-tree garlanded picture-perfect clean roads, and its maximized tourism devices – festivals, activities & destinations, Tagum City continues to prove itself worthy not only of its MICE status but also in the broad-spectrum, 

a Tourist Destination.
