Описание: Tatusan Festival, Caluya, Antique, Philippines

The tatus from Caluya, Antique are rare and expensive coconut crabs burrowing on land distributed on islands along with the Indian and Pacific Oceans- have found their home in the small island of Caluya in Antique. These elusive creatures can only be caught at night with the help of a flashlight and grilled coconut as bait. But once prepared and served on the table, its mouth-watering taste can equal famous and best-seller delicacies.

The Caluyans recognize the rarity of the tatus. In gratefulness for the bounty of tatus on their land, the locals celebrate the Tatusan Festival every March. Parades of colorful and crab-shaped floats, street dancing, and booth display of various sizes of tatus are among the highlights of the festival. Old and young people alike crowd the streets and stomp their feet to the beat of the drums.

These festivities are a welcome break for Caluya. Amid their simple and quiet lives, they have a reason to celebrate indeed. After all, among the many coastal communities in Antique, they chose to dwell in their land.
