Revitalized Eton Centris highlights holiday events
Eton Centris is taking its holiday offerings up a notch this year. One of the newest attractions in the complex this month is the Illumination Festival Manila organized by Kirin Creative Entertainment. It features Luminarie Light Structures, shows by international performers, and a state-of-the-art virtual reality (VR) experience that is a must-see for families and friends.
The public can experience walking with dinosaurs, flying on a glider, or even walking on top of buildings using the event’s advanced virtual reality technology.
There will also be a Gini Casting portable professional studio used in K-pop auditions – a sure hit for K-pop fans. Rare K-pop merchandise will also be available for purchase.
Eton Centris will also feature the Manila Concert Choir, Himig Scientia, CEU Singers, Novo Concertante, UP Manila Chorale, Banda Zamora, and UST Singers on their Christmas Musical Nights on all Fridays and Saturdays of December. These evening concerts will take place at the Centris Walk Open Grounds at 8 p.m.
The Eton Centris Christmas Gift Shop Bazaar will also run from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. for the entire month of December, complementing the neighborhood favorite SIDCOR Sunday Market where unique finds abound – from food, clothes, accessories, home décor, dry goods to wet market, plants, and even pets.
SIDCOR happens every Sunday from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. but people are advised to come early because the items sell really fast.
Families, especially the kids, will have a fun time as they can meet Santa Claus as well at the ‘Santa Meet & Greet’ happening every Friday from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.
On top of these, immerse in a spectacle of lights at the weekly grand fireworks display that will run every 9 p.m. for all Saturdays of December.
Eton Centris is also hosting nine days of Misa de Gallo to be held daily until Dec. 23 every 6:30 p.m. at the Centris Walk.
The holiday festivities at Eton Centris was kicked-off by a Christmas tree lighting ceremony held last Nov. 14.
The 50-feet giant tree is adorned with over 2,000 pieces of décor with red, orange, green, cyan, and magenta ornaments that represent the new and revitalized Eton Centris.
“More than a BPO hub and commercial center, we want our Eton Centris to become the place that people go to in order to enjoy the things that make them happy, activities that they love, their passions and interests. From good food and events to music and the arts, we want Eton Centris to be known as the soulful side of Quezon City,” said AVP for Eton Centris Marjorie G. Abot.
Situated at the corners of thoroughfares EDSA and Quezon Avenue, Eton Centris is a 12-hectare mixeduse complex dedicated to retail stores, restaurants, offices, and open spaces for entertainment and other fun activities – all accessible via MRT.
