The Kaogma Festival marks the foundation day (May 27, 1569) of Camarines Sur in the Philippines. It is a week-long pageant of colorful activities which intensifies the already sweltering summer heat. The Kaogma Festival title has been modified to "Kaogma Mardi Gras: the World's Hottest Festival". Kaogma translates to "a good time" in the local dialect.[1]

Its May 2005 celebration featured an array of events such as the "Hot Banda Jam", "Hot Buys", Buruntolan, "Hot Kids Starquest", the "Hot New Singing Star Search", "Miss Camarines Sur 2005", "Camarines Sur bids for Guinness World Record", "Silliest Plaza Contest", a thanksgiving Mass, "Hot Grand Parade", and a "Hot Party". For the first time, all main activities were held within the sprawling Provincial Capitol Complex in Cadlan, Pili, Camarines Sur.
