Location: Baguio City
February ushers in the “season of blooming.” This festival is a treat by Baguio City, one whose charm especially lies
in its flora and fauna theme. Expect beautiful parades of floral floats in the city, as well as children adorned as flora
and fauna. Feast your eyes on Session Road in Bloom where the street is closed to allow for gorgeous flower carts,
beautiful street dancing, and outdoor cafes. It’s a refreshing celebration for those coming from the frenzy of January
celebrations.
