The Kalimudan Festival 2025 is gearing up for a star-studded finale as international and local performers converge in Sultan Kudarat for its closing ceremony on November 22 at the Capitol Grounds in Isulan. Among the celebrities headlining the celebration is Korean superstar Sandara Park, whose appearance adds global appeal to a festival already packed with high-profile guests and pop-culture acts.
This year’s edition brings in several major performers— including SB19, BGYO, and other widely followed artists— as part of the province’s expanded entertainment slate. Festival organizers noted that the combined lineup reflects Governor Datu Pax Ali S. Mangudadatu’s vision of positioning Kalimudan as a “world-class” celebration that blends cultural identity with contemporary entertainment. The governor has repeatedly emphasized that the province is ready to “bring Sultan Kudarat to the world,” with this year’s festival drawing both traditional audiences and younger fans.
Her appearance at the Kalimudan Festival joins a roster of performers and personalities invited to elevate this year’s closing show, which also includes major pageant figures, hosts, and artists who have been part of the week-long celebration. The festival—already known for drawing hundreds of thousands of participants—continues to merge tradition with global entertainment as it aims to reach new international audiences.
MPQ Travel and Tours serves as the travel partner for Sandara Park’s visit, overseeing her arrival logistics and concierge services for the festival. Their involvement highlights the collaborative effort behind bringing international talent to one of Mindanao’s largest cultural celebrations.
