Festivals are one of the beautiful ways to showcase the products, customs and traditions of a particular place. It also boosts the tourism and economic activities of that region. Furthermore, local people and vendors are given the chance to improve their livelihood and their products may be recognized too. Hopefully, unity among the townsfolk transcends throughout the year, and not only during special celebrations.
This is one of the things that make Philippines special! We have a lot of festivals in our country, like in all places. We tend to celebrate different kinds of festivals as a way to showcase our culture. What a lovely event! Thank you for sharing this!
I love parades! Everything in that picture is so vibrant. Yes festivals here in the Philippines celebrates not only patrons or founding of a certain town or province but it is also a testament to the life and history resilience of the people throughout the ages living in that community. I love the sense of belonging there the inclusion of everyone old or young. I fervently pray that traditions such as this will not be uprooted from us. It is up to our next generation to keep it alive and burning.
It is part of the culture every community, town, city, or province possess and shows pride through festival. Derived mostly from ancestral beliefs. This annual event just like christmas gathers the community through culture, sports and music. Hope our town can have this event in the near future ❣️
