The Cordillera Festival of Festivals, mainly facilitated by the Department of Tourism-Cordillera, is in its fifth year and will showcase the region’s cultural diversity through a parade of festivals and other activities. Baguio will host this year’s celebration on October 17, with the parade traversing designated portions of Harrison Road, Magsaysay Avenue and Session Road before culminating at upper Session Road.
The road closures are being implemented to ensure the orderly and safe conduct of the event, which is part of efforts to promote the Cordillera’s cultural heritage and tourism destinations. – Dexter A. See
