Last April 16 and 17, Bonifacio High Street became the home of athletes, weekend warriors, families and friends looking for a great time. There were thrilling games and challenging crash courses that kept everyone’s adrenalin high. For young families, children were also in on the fun as they did exciting activities that gave them a taste of the great outdoors.

Aside from the games and competitions, guests were in for a treat as they were showed cool outdoor film showings and band performances from bands like Up Dharma Down that amped up the free-spirited vibe and friendly mood that lasted throughout the festival. Acquaintances and even strangers were able to converse easily and share their love for the outdoors in a natural setting of green landscapes and fresh air.  Definitely if there was anything that the R.O.X. Outdoor Festival did, it was to share a greater appreciation for the outdoors, and foster a closer knit community amidst the busy, concrete world we live in.
