Taguig opens 'Christmas by the Lake' holiday attraction

The local government of Taguig City unveiled its ''Christmas by the Lake'' attraction for this year's holiday season.

For the public’s benefit, Taguig City transformed part of its coast along the Laguna Lake into a brightly lit Christmas lights park with several family-friendly attractions.

Among the highlights are a nostalgic Christmas on Display, which showcases the rich traditions of Paskong Probinsyudad through animated displays.

There is also the Northern Lights experience, which is considered as a first-of-its kind attraction in the country. It is inspired by the Aurora Borealis, the natural light display found in the northern or southern hemispheres.

The giant Christmas Tree is also among the attractions, symbolizing hope, unity, and joy which will surely be the highlight of every visitor’s holiday photos.

Mayor Lani Cayetano reminded visitors to reflect on the true spirit of Christmas, particularly generosity, love, and gratitude to God as they enjoy the attractions of the said park.

"I hope that all who visit our park will experience the magic of the Christmas season and create happy and unforgettable memories with their friends, families, and loved ones,'' Cayetano said in a press release.

Visitors can also look forward to other attractions, including the Lights of Christmas Park, Walkway of Lights, TLC Food Park, Graffiti area, and Mercado Del Lago Floating Village.

The park operates daily from December 1, 2024 to January 12, 2025. It will be closed on December 24, 25, 31 and January 1.

The following schedules are as follows:

• Monday to Thursday: 5:00 PM - 10:00 PM
• Friday and Saturday: 5:00 PM - 11:00 PM
• Sunday: 5:00 PM - 10:00 PM
