Stay Home and Watch the Festival of Lights 2020, Virtual Edition

Christmas is just around the corner. If not with pandemic, we've probably be attending tree lighting ceremonies and light shows here and there. One of the biggest light and sound shows events every year is the one in Ayala Triangle.

Unfortunately, Christmas won't be the same until the threat of Covid-19 is here. The good news is that we can recreate Christmas traditions we all loved. Ayala Land brings joy to families through the country’s first-ever interactive digital lights and sound show, a virtual execution of the annual Christmas event at Ayala Triangle Gardens. Indeed, however the world turns and whatever challenges come its way, some traditions never change.

“The annual lights and sound show has been a family favorite for years. It’s one of the most-awaited Christmas events that brings happiness to people,” shares Mel Ignacio, Head of Makati Estate, Ayala Land. “For this reason, Ayala Land and Make It Makati decided to continue the annual tradition by bringing the show through digital channels. We want the event to spark hope among Filipinos - hope that will help them remember that brighter days lie ahead for all of us.”

Witness an enchanting virtual show of dancing lights and holograms accompanied by a medley of beloved Christmas songs. The “Festival of Lights 2020, Lights and Sound Show Virtual Edition” will be available in the social media accounts of Ayala Land and Make It Makati starting November 24. This year’s virtual digital lights and sound show was conceptualized in collaboration with Globe Studios. Production was led by filmmaker and director, Quark Henares. Together with his team, he recreated the Christmas light show at Ayala Triangle Gardens and turned it into a 360-degree animated video. An exciting orchestration of laser lights, string lights, meteor lights, holograms, and helix lights dancing to Reese Lansangan’s rendition of traditional songs like Oh Holy Night and Jingle Bells are bound to uplift and put anyone into the Christmas mood.
