Panagbenga 2022: Let Hope Bloom
As Baguio City is seeing a downward trend in Covid-19 cases, the city is again set to stage a low-key and downgraded Panagbenga 2022 with the theme, “Let Hope Bloom.” The Baguio Flower Festival is set to be staged on March 6 – 27, 2022, sans the usual Grand Street Dance and Floral Float Parades – to prevent the further spread of Covid-19.

Being one of the most anticipated events in the country, Panagbenga draws thousands of local and international tourists to witness this annual season of blooming. After a two-year hiatus, Panagbenga 2022 organizers (through the Baguio Flower Festival Foundation, Inc.) are hoping that this would be the start of the gradual revival of the city’s economy crippled by the ongoing pandemic. With its simple celebration this year, Panagbenga will try to bring hope to people through the festivals’ traditional activities amid the ongoing health crisis.
