The event will be held as part of the annual week-long festivities that was begun in 1987 by then Lucena OIC Euclides Abcede as a means to correct the city's image as a sanctuary of the New People's Army and promote it as a tourism and investment haven.

The other events will include the grand parade of floats, street dancing competition, Bb. Pasiyahan and gandang Lola pageants, and the Mayor's Night hosted by Lucena Mayor Dondon A. Alcala and his wife.
The grand Flores de Mayo, with overall chairman designer Armhand Remojo, will be participated in by 28 member designers of the Quezon Fashion Designers Association of the Philippines and will crown three outstanding zagalas namely: Rosa Mistica, Reina de las Flores and La Flor de Lucena. The procession will start at Pacific Mall, proceed through the streets of the city and end up at the covered court of Maryhill College. Yvethe Santiago will be wearing Remojo's creation. Among the judges for the awards will be Manila's ace couturier Arielle Agasang.
