This year’s celebration, themed “Enchanted Woodland: The Magic of the Forest in the Heart of the City,” promises to bring holiday cheer with vibrant decorations and festive activities.

CTOO officer in charge Jennifer Romero shared that preparations are underway, with giant reindeer, Santa’s sleigh, and other holiday displays set to adorn the city hall grounds.

The Pasko Fiesta will also feature community programs, including “Kasadya sa Pasko” and “Kalingawan sa Distrito,” organized in selected barangays across the city’s three congressional districts. The festive season will culminate with the Pasko Fiesta Grand Bazaar at Esplanade Park, Bago Aplaya, from December 26 to 31.
