The programs originally scheduled for Sunday, June 17 have been postponed due to the season's 6th typhoon and will now take place on Sunday, June 24.

The haarii of the fishing village of Itoman is the oldest such race on the island, a traditional, unique festivity that can be seen nowhere else. During the week before the event, at Santimou, a hilly place in the middle of the village, a gong is struck to announce the coming of the haaree. Racers have diligently practiced for 40 days prior to the event, and their determination is clear for all to see. The Itoman Haaree has more than 20 categories of races.
