Okada Manila: A holiday season filled with light and magic

-

FORBES 5-star integrated resort Okada Manila gears up for the Yuletide season with amazing events to add to the holiday festivitie­s. It was “A Night of a Thousand Lights” as the property lit up its magnificen­t Christmas Tree at the Fountain Foyer, attended by Okada Manila’s top management and witnessed by media guests and property visitors. The 38-foot Christmas tree was a sight to behold, inspired by a magical “Whimsical Dreamland” filled with bright lights and marvelous decoration­s such as ornate white twigs, a fairytale window likened to that of a dwarf’s house, festooned with sparkly green garlands, and accentuate­d with clear and white beautiful Christmas balls, as well as dazzling fairy lights.

The lighting ceremony was followed by the launch of a quaint Christmas Village and a wondrous Light Show at the newest events place at Okada Manila, the Crystal Pavilion. Guests at the Christmas Village can capture precious memories via interactiv­e photo booths that showcase different holiday themes like the Fairy Garden, Giant Gift Box and Mistletoe booth. They can also visit the “North Pole”, or sing with carolers via augmented and virtual reality.
