Thousands of streetdance performers from the 32 participating contingents thrilled the crowd gathered along the parade route from Upper Session road up to the Melvin Jones football field with the choreographed moves of certain cultural practices from the different parts of the Cordillera and the Ilocos Region.

Further, the crowd that was gathered within the Melvin Jones football field was given added entertainment with the mandatory performances of the participating streetdancing contingents up to the late afternoon of Saturday.

The crowd composed of residents and tourists alike eagerly waited along the parade route to witness the varied performances from the participating groups that ranged from courtship dances, thanksgiving rituals for bountiful harvest among others aside from showcasing the different festivals conducted in the different parts of the region.

The conduct of the grand street dance parade was the first since the cancellation of the major events lined up for the flower festival in 2020 primarily because of the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic that caused a standstill in the economic activities of people in the whole world.

The 32 participating contingents was the highest participation recorded among drum and lyre contingents, cultural dance and festival groups in the grand streetdancing parade since the inception of the city’s major crowd drawing event some 27  years ago.
