Panagbenga Festival -The Panagbenga Festival is one of the most well-known festivities in the Philippines. It is Celebrated every February in the city of Baguio as a tribute to the flowers that had survived during a great earthquake on 1990. A parade of colorful costumes and dances are presented on the streets.
In 1995 Atty. Damaso E. Bangaoet, Jr., proposed the idea of organizing a flower festival to be held in February to the directors of the John Hay Poro Point Development Corporation, his suggestion received their immediate approval.
This festival is held every February because the Attorney said that the weather in February is perfect and it gives folks a reason to visit us between
Christmas and Holy Week.
The activities that are found in this month-long festival starts at 1st day of the February , with opening activities organized by the City government and private sectors.
