Zamboanga City’s La Hermosa Festival which was held last October 7-12 was one of the most colorful festivals I’ve witnessed in the country. From the hundreds of vintas with their rainbow sails racing on the sea in the annual Regatta de Zamboanga, to the festive flurry of activities, it was like a gigantic box of crayons just spilled over the whole city. Beyond the elaborate floats and vibrant costumes of the street dancers, it was great to see the community spirit as locals took part in the different festivities. Here are a few snapshots from the event.
Great shots! Hay… ang ganda nman talaga sa Zamboanga, ang kukulay! It reminds me of Bacolod’s Masskara Festival. I hope to visit Zamboanga soon. 🙂
Thanks Gelaikuting! Haven’t been to Bacolod’s Masskara Festival yet. Hope to witness that too someday 🙂
