February doesn’t only mean Valentines in the Philippines. It is filled with, not only love, but colorful, vibrant events that are sure to make you fall in love with the country all over again.
1. Panagbenga Festival
Baguio City, the summer capital of the Philippines, is home to one of the most colorful festivals in the country. Panagbenga is a month-long celebration that celebrates the season of blooming of the famous Baguio flowers. If you want to dance in the streets, be amazed with creative floats made entirely of locally grown fresh flowers (our very own version of California’s Rose Parade) and party all day long, then Panagbenga is one that should not be missed! The festival will start on February 1 and will end on March 4.
