Kaleidoscope of Sight, Sound, and Light

“Kaleidoscope of Sight, Sound, and Light” dazzles with three main attractions directed by Ohm David. The traditional light show features “mappable LED lights” and interactive floor projections. The first medley, “Paskong Pinoy,” tells the “Simbang Gabi” story with vibrant lights and Filipino Christmas carols. The second medley, “Cosmic K-Pop Christmas,” immerses viewers in a trendy K-Pop concert.

The third medley, “Big Band Holiday,” invokes an opulent era with Art Deco-inspired lights and iconic tunes. Beyond the courtyard, curated installations in other garden areas offer a truly magical light experience.

Wish Upon a Light and Liter of Light

Embark on a magical journey at Ayala Triangle Gardens and discover “Wish Upon a Light” at the northern portion—a wishing pond where you can share your wishes on an interactive screen, flashing them on a green wall for everyone to see.

Festival of Lights 2023 presents “Liter of Light,” an inspiring collaboration with Arte House, Leeroy New, and Illac Diaz. Featuring “Elemento” by Leeroy New, this art installation adds a mesmerizing touch to the “Christmas Trail” and sheds light on an inspiring story of recycled plastic bottles bringing illumination to classrooms. The solar-powered installation is a must-see from December 2.
