Ayala Land and Make It Makati bring another magical spectacle with the Festival of Lights Virtual Edition 2021

Ayala Land and Make It Makati continue to bring joy and magic to the Christmas celebration. Festival of Lights: Virtual Edition 2021 is launching once again through a two-part show in partnership with Globe Studios, led by Director Quark Henares and Acid House and co-presented with Coca-Cola. This year’s lights show is definitively bigger, better, and brighter as Philippine music icon Mr. Jose Mari Chan collaborates and conducts a heartwarming medley composed of his iconic holiday songs for both installments. 

Viewers can catch the initial premiere of part one on November 12 at 6:00 p.m via this link: https://www.facebook.com/makeitmakati/videos/4506153449473349. Launching on Make It Makati’s Facebook page, part one of the Festival of Lights: Virtual Edition 2021 recreates the light show at Ayala Triangle Gardens designed within the digital space to present a 360-degree animation. Meanwhile, part two is also launching very soon. 

To make the light show accessible to more people, on-ground QR code displays and digital boxes will be placed in areas of the Makati Central Business District and Circuit Makati such as underpasses, walkways, malls, and parks. The access to the light show is made a breeze as this QR code will lead them to the main event.

According to Chrissy Roa, Marketing Head of Ayala Land Estates, “Families and friends may be physically apart, but the country’s most-loved Christmas lights and sounds show aim to give deeper meaning and greater joy to the holiday by connecting everyone—near or far—through the Festival of Lights: Virtual Edition.”

Big prizes for a bigger celebration

Along with the Festival of Lights: Virtual Edition 2021, augmented reality Instagram filters will also be launched for a complete digital Christmas celebration. Featuring the lights and sound show on the background, the filter transports social media users to the festive Ayala Triangle Gardens.

A merry holiday also includes meaningful discussions. Make the holiday season more significant by diving deeper and tuning in to the State of The Arts Podcast on Spotify, a show about the arts, theater, and creatives in and around the Philippines.

Celebrating Christmas is all about love, light, and togetherness with the family. Furthering the holiday spirit, Ayala Land has created a virtual tour “Christmas Cities”, a nationwide Christmas celebration featuring lights and decorations at Ayala Avenue and Circuit Makati, where families can take memorable groufies.
