Panagbenga is month-long annual flower festival occurring in Baguio, the summer capital of the Philippines.The term is of Malayo-Polynesian origin, meaning "season of blooming". The Panagbenga Festival showcases the many floral floats and native dances. The fragrant smells that could be presently teasing olfactory senses are probably less from the now-dried flowers from Valentine's Day than air floating all the way from Baguio City. There's also the half-dozen or so flower beds-- disguised, of course, as the Panagbenga parade floats.
Panagbenga showcases the people's talent, artistry and ingenuity via performances, exhibits and more. It opens with a shower of rose petals along Session Road while marching bands played lively tunes that sets the mode for the parade. Panagbenga festival will have spectators enjoying a multiple floral and float parades over two days. The Baguio Flower Festival Association (BFFA) will have a street dancing parade and band exhibition.
