Anchored on the theme, "Power. Purpose. Impact", the event is spearheaded by the City Youth Development Office, in collaboration with the Sangguniang Kabataan Pederesyon of Tagum and the City Youth Development Council.
Jacqueline De Asis, Tagum City Youth Development Coordinator, bared that they have lined-up various activities from August 5 up to August 12, including the neon night run event, the digital disk jockey competition, and other youth-centered activities that the Tagumenyo young people can participate.
De Asis said the festival is in line with City Ordinance No. 811, S-2017, which declares every second week of August as the Tagum City Youth Festival. She said the festivities are also connected to the International Youth Day celebration.
