14th Tuna Festival Opens with a Grand Float Parade



Today, the 14th Tuna Festival officially opened. It is a local holiday so my family took the time to stroll the busy grounds of General Santos City. As expected, all the major streets in the city faced heavy traffic and the roads where the float parade would pass were blocked. Despite the searing heat and unforgiving humidity, preparations for the parade started by around two in the afternoon. By four, the parade started at SM mall.
Here are some of the images taken from the float parade.
 


The parade ended at the city’s oval plaza. The entire area was totally crowded and only then I felt exhausted. We just grabbed some durian and refreshing coconut juice and then left.

We did not anymore wait for the opening program and the fireworks display. Depletion has totally taken its toll on me. In a nearby restaurant, we had dinner and called the day.
