Smiling faces filled the crowd as onlookers looked forward to the performances while listening to the steady rhythm provided by various instruments.

Kicking off with a street dance parade, contingents from various provinces of the Cordillera region swayed and twirled their way to the Rose Garden in Burnham Park for the festival proper where they displayed their unique culture and tradition.

Six festivals were included in this year’s festivities.
