PANAGBENGA FESTIVAL 2017

Panagbenga Festival (Flower Festival in English) is a month-long annual flower festival in Baguio City held every February as a tribute to the city’s flowers. It has also found significance as a representation of the people’s rise against the devastation experienced during the 1990 earthquake. Highlight of the festival are floats covered with flowers rivaling those in Pasadena, California’s Rose Parade.  The celebration also features street dancing themed after the different cultural traditions of the Cordillera indigenous people with flower inspired costumes.

The festival is a major activity in Baguio that continues to attract local and foreign tourists and has significantly contributed to the local economy of the city.
