Session Road

Every Sunday, Session Road takes on a new life as it is closed to vehicular traffic, making it a car-free zone for pedestrians. This weekly event allows families and tourists to walk freely along the road, enjoying the sights and sounds without the usual hustle and bustle of traffic. During these Sundays, the road is often filled with costume performers such as Spiderman, Batman, and the popular Green Man, along with other beloved characters. These performers pose for photos and engage with children, leaving them mesmerized and delighted. It’s a perfect spot for families to enjoy a leisurely stroll and create lasting memories, especially with the kids thrilled by the lively and colorful characters.

Session Road During Parades and Festivals

Session Road also plays a central role in the city's major parades and festivals. During the Panagbenga Festival, Baguio's famous flower festival, the road is transformed into the main route for the grand parade. For over two weeks, it is closed to make way for spectacular floats, vibrant street dancers, and festive music. The Panagbenga Festival brings an explosion of colors and energy to Session Road, drawing crowds from all over the country and the world. The road is lined with food stalls, traditional handicrafts, and local vendors selling everything from flowers to souvenirs, making it an exciting and festive atmosphere for everyone.

The 15-day closure of Session Road during the Panagbenga Festival allows the area to showcase a lively street market filled with local delicacies, crafts, and unique Baguio products. It becomes a vibrant open-air bazaar, where visitors can shop for handmade goods, savor local street food, and immerse themselves in the spirit of the festival.
