Come home to Christmas in Makati with the Ayala Land Festival of Lights
AYALA Land makes Christmas happen with the return of Festival of Lights 2022.
After running virtual editions of the Festival of Lights to continue the well-loved tradition while ensuring safety during the pandemic, the most anticipated family Christmas tradition is back live and on-ground at Ayala Triangle Gardens with never-beforeseen features to usher in a bigger and brighter celebration.
Makati Mayor Mar-Len Abigail “Abby” Binay muses, “The lights in Ayala Triangle have always been a symbol of hope, bringing people together and symbolizing the community spirit, which makes our city so unique. As we prepare for the Christmas festivities, let us all remember to keep that spirit alive and continue working towards a better and brighter future. In Makati, we make it happen.”
Bobby Dy, Ayala Land president and CEO, shares, “The Festival of Lights is more than just a visual spectacle and delightful sounds. It is a well-loved annual tradition that has enabled us to connect with the community in a very unique way. It has brought joy to millions as it brings together people from all walks of life and from all over the country.”
Director Ohm David and Lighting Designer Sueyen Austero conceptualized this year’s grand presentation.
Accompanying the light show are three-holiday medleys.
The first is an orchestral rendition headed by the Manila Symphony Orchestra, followed by an upbeat TikTok rendition arranged by Jazz Nicolas and Mikey Amistoso, in collaboration with Tris Suguitan.
The show concludes with a soothing chorale rendition by Jazz Nicolas and Mikey Amistoso.
Everyone is invited to watch the Festival of Lights at Ayala Triangle Gardens running every night until January 8. The show plays every hour, with the first run at 6 p.m. and the last run at 10 p.m.
