Quezon City Rocks at 75 with Grand Concert and Parade of Lights

My weekend was filled with great memories as I joined thousands of Quezonians and guests celebrate the culmination of the Diamond Jubilee Anniversary of Quezon City, my home away from home...

Mayor Herbert Bautista was also there to welcome the guests and gave a short message.

Last Sunday night, I went back to Quezon Memorial Circle where the #QCRocks75 grand concert was held. It rained earlier that night so I was surprised that the open air venue was still filled with people who were out to celebrate. Robi Domingo and Joyce Pring hosted the event.

It was a night to remember, not only for me but to some of my close friends as we unwind and enjoy the musical performances of different musicians like Barbie Almabis, Yolanda Moon, Pulso, Giniling Festival, Musical O and Maude.

Famous bands like Rocksteddy and Parokya ni Edgar
were also there to perform and party with the crowd!!!

STAR-STUDDED NIGHT! Different celebrities were also spotted at the event as they represent the various floats part of the Grand Lights Parade.

Atleast 10 floats highlighting Quezon City's bright tourism and key destinations made
the night shine brighter.

known as City of Stars!

A grand fireworks display wowed the crowd as we welcome another year for Quezon City!

Despite the occasional drizzle, a lot of people stayed until midnight to watch the fireworks display which lasted for almost 5 minutes. I personally like love it!

PAROKYA NI EDGAR played some of their best songs that make the crowd very cheerful! I also enjoyed it a lot as I find myself dancing and singing along with the rest of the party-goers!

I watched several live performances of Parokya ni Edgar in the past but this was the second time that I got the chance to have a photo with Chito Miranda. The first was taken way back in college when they had a concert in Naga City.
