The town of La Trinidad in Benguet is in the thick of celebrating its annual Strawberry Festival. Less than two weeks remain of the scheduled month-long festivities. Today (March 20) saw the staging of the Drum and Lyre Competition and the festival's own version of a float parade.
Since the festival was developed around strawberries (one of the town's most well-known products), every one of the floats featured the red, fleshy fruits. We weren't able to catch the parade itself but we had a glimpse of the floats which are currently parked in front of the municipal hall. Below are a few snapshots we took.
For scenes from the parade, you can check out photos from the folks over at the La Trinidad Shutterbugs website here. Mayor Edna Tabanda riding a mini-horse carriage? That was pretty cool.
