The procession gathers thousands of devotees from different parts of the country who come to witness and participate in the religious event. It is organized by the Cofradia de la Inmaculada Concepcion, a religious organization in the Philippines.
During the procession, various images of the Virgin Mary are paraded through the streets of Intramuros. These images are adorned with beautiful garments and are carried by devotees on carrozas (floats). The procession is accompanied by religious hymns, prayers, and acts of devotion.

This Spanish-made image of the Virgin Mary is considered one of the most beautiful and revered Marian images in the Philippines. It is known for its intricate details and rich colors.
The procession route typically includes significant landmarks within the walled city of Intramuros, such as the San Agustin Church and Manila Cathedral. Along the way, devotees offer flowers, light candles, and recite prayers as a sign of their devotion to the Virgin Mary.
