It features new lighting technology called “mappable LED lights” as well as interactive floor projections that will take your breath away. Watch as the floors of the garden burst into a stunning illusion of light and color, thanks to larger-than-life projections. Kids and kids at heart alike will have a blast chasing interactive images like playful butterflies flitting across the courtyard, animated by Kroma (formerly Globe Studios).

Festival of Lights 2023 also features an inspiring collaboration with Arte House, Leeroy New, and Illac Diaz. “Liter of Light” is an art installation featuring “Elemento” by Leeroy New. It not only adds a mesmerizing attraction to the “Christmas Trail” in the Ayala Triangle Gardens, it also sheds light on an inspiring story about how recycled plastic bottles, water, and bleach brought 55 watts of light to classrooms that didn’t have electricity. The installation is lit up using these “solar-powered, recycled water bottles”, making it a must-see feature starting December 2.
