The biggest and brightest light show in PH

Eastwood City is lighting up the festive season with a dazzling display of more than 2.5 million sparkling lights in a first-of-its-kind lights and sound show that is the biggest and the brightest the Philippines has ever seen.

“Eastwood Holiday Lightscapades,” an original and fully immersive lights and sound show by Filipino lighting designer John Batalla, is the centerpiece of this year’s celebration at Eastwood City.

Happening at the heart of Eastwood Mall Open Park, the highlight of the show is a 20-foot Christmas tree sculpture crafted from NASA-grade Mylar laminated chromed metal attached to a revolving frame. Various light sources synchronized to the beat of remixed holiday music are reflected on the centerpiece, while haze and bubble effects emanate from the structure, creating an immersive experience and a colorful visual spectacle for the audience. Adding more bursts of color are international-grade laser points featuring the latest lighting technology placed strategically around the open park’s adjacent structures, accentuating and illuminating the surrounding buildings and structures.

The Christmas tree display was created by Batalla with Ohm David, a professor and theater set designer who has worked on some of the biggest musical productions in the metro, including the opening ceremony of the 2019 SEA Games. The metallic chrome tree, inspired by the “movement forward” mantra of Batalla and David, invites viewers to look forward to the future.

The show runs every 20 minutes from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. The lights and sound show has three sets of music suites that last for five minutes each. The music suites feature a medley of meaningful, modern and upbeat songs curated and remixed by Arvy Dimaculangan, who has scored various local theater productions.“‘Eastwood Holiday Lightscapades’ exemplifies the beauty in diversity and the many beautiful things and possibilities we can create together when we all converge at a single point. The tree is a reflection of our hope for the season, the renewal that it brings, and the joys etched on each of our faces as we celebrate the best season in the Philippines,” said Graham Coates, head of Megaworld Lifestyle Malls.

The show is just one of many Christmas attractions families can enjoy at Eastwood City.

Towering over Eastwood City is the 50-foot giant Christmas tree adorned with larger-than-life decorations inspired by Christmas nostalgia including giant gift boxes, toys, drums and more. Lighted displays inspired by Christmas characters are lined up in the township’s main thoroughfares while decorations are also placed around Eastwood Mall, Eastwood Citywalk, Eastwood Central Plaza and Fuente Circle so customers can take memorable holiday photos.
