The Sunrise Festival is a celebration of arts held annually in the different regions of Maharlika (Philippines). A collaborative effort among professional and upcoming artists in the country, it is the first national event organized by the Maharlika Artists and Writers Federation. The festival is a start of a continuing national cultural movement to develop a high value and a total integration of all aspects of arts in the country: music, theatre, literary, dance, senses,emotions and intuition and spirit.

The festival is a three-day art event participated by artists with the sole purpose of upifting humanity through arts. The event discusses how new technology and outlook are transforming artists and art communities into medium of social and cultural transformation.
This gathering has been going on for three years and is being held in different pre assigned regions of Maharlika. The inaugural event was held in Cebu City and was covered by an international Japanese broadcast network. Last year saw an increase in participation that included international artists performing in the country's world-renowned island resort of Boracay. This year, Dumaguete City has been chosen for the venue.
There is an increasing interest in the festival since it was held last year and we are anticipating to accomodate more artists and participants this year.
