Choose Philippines | Feb 24, 2015

Baguio City's Grand Street Dance Parade and Grand Float Parade will be held on February 28 (8:00 AM - 9:30 AM) and March 1 (8:30 AM - 10 AM), respectively, giving us a perfect ending of one whole month of love.
And because nothing can be more romantic than witnessing meticulous arrangements of thousands of flowers in full bloom, you can watch both parades right here on your screen through webstreaming.
The Panagbenga Festival is an annual flower festival celebrating Baguio City's “season for blossoming, time for flowering,” the translation of the Kankanaey term. It reflects the history and traditions of the Cordilleras through community-driven events.
