Panagbenga 2008 Grand Parade Part 1

Before posting my photos taken in Thailand, let me first show you photos taken at the 13th Panagbenga Festival in Baguio City. The month-long festival is highlighted by three events - The Grand Parade, The Float and Band Parade and the Session in Bloom.

Here are some photos I have taken on the Grand Parade:

  5. That parade is quite colourful. And people seem to be having great time also.
    Loved the photos specialy because they reminded me of the portuguese so called "marchas" that happen in Lisbon with the Santo António festivity.

  12. @ vernaloo - it started out fine but come lunch, the rain started to fall. good thing it isn't really strong. i was lucky enough to find a place in the overpass where i am protected from the rain.
