Cagayan de Oro City, Philippines – Fête de la Musique returns to Cagayan de Oro this June 28, 2025, promising a city wide sonic takeover with six genre dedicated stages, over 250 musicians and dancers, and a powerful celebration of Northern Mindanao’s creative pulse.
In harmony with this year’s global theme, “Un Monde (One World),” Fête CDO 2025 highlights music’s power to unite people across genres, generations, and geographies. Organized by Indie CDO in collaboration with fellow production groups, the French Embassy (Alliance Française de Manille), and various private and government partners, this year’s festival builds on the overwhelming success of its 2024 debut, which drew more than 3,000 attendees across four stages. What started as a city-first celebration is now a full-blown cultural movement: offering platforms for both emerging and established artists, and proving CDO’s rising prominence in the national music landscape.
This year’s Fête is made possible through the generous support of local community champions including Permiro Coffee, Un & Franc Cafe, Chingkeetea, and Bubblebrew Laundromat Cafe whose commitment to culture and creativity continues to power the growth of CDO’s independent music and arts scene.
