It's over and done! After preparing for it for months, the flower festival is already over. The closing ceremony was held last Sunday. It was an awesome event here in Baguio City. Ever since we moved here, we always make sure to join the parade for the opening at least since my kids were included. That's one of their school activities around here.
Well, I hope that next year we also get to celebrate the closing ceremony as it is also awesome as the opening. 
How about you? Do you celebrate any festivals from where you are right now?

We have a similar kind of flower festival here at our famous garden Lal Bagh in Bangalore. It goes for three weeks in month of February and it is awesome every year with different themes.

@cherriefic It is worth watching here but can get overcrowded on weekends and sometimes on weekdays too.

Yes it is fun! Aside from the float parade, there's also a street dancing competition.

I wasn't able to watch it live because I don't want to be caught in heavy traffic and crowded people...so I went to see the flower floats only in the afternoon and it is getting better and better each year...Congratulations Baguio, there is this another festival happening already just next to Baguio which is in La Trinidad, the Strawberry Festival, but I have not yet known about the schedule of activities...thanks kabayan......

It's a flower festival. They make floats made of flowers and parade on the streets.

Most schools are included to the street dance competition. They prepare for it once the school year started. We moved here 3 years ago.
