THE MAGIC OF GIVING

Hon. Arcillas thanked EK for spreading the'very essence of Christmas'—the spirit of giving—through their offerings and initiatives.
ELDAR’S MOONLIGHT PARADE
Parkgoers flocked to the streets of Portabello and Brooklyn Place in anticipation of the back-to-back launches of EK's holiday attractions, which began with the Eldar's Moonlight Parade. And then they appeared — EK's jolly wizard and other beloved storybook characters, dressed in vibrant, glow-in-the-dark costumes. Nightlife at the Park came alive as they pranced through the themed zones to the tune of lively, iconic EK songs.
ELDAR’S BROOKLYN SYMPHONY
As the parade party approached EK's 4D-simulated theater Rialto in the Brooklyn Place zone, Eldar the Wizard waved his magical wand to begin the Brooklyn Symphony. The Christmas lights that covered the entire area suddenly came to life, dancing to the beat of popular Christmas songs playing throughout the area.
Guests also rejoiced at the sight of'snow' falling from the sky near the end of the show as part of the holiday atmosphere.
ENCHANTED CHRISTMAS TREE
Serving as the highlight of EK’s magical holiday attractions this 2024 is their one-of-a-kind Enchanted Christmas Tree in partnership with Firefly. It is located between the Brooklyn Place and Midway Boardwalk’s Wheel of Fate.
With Dr. Mamon and Hon. Arcillas leading the lighting ceremony, purple lights soon covered the whole tree, unveiling its unique design.
This year, the theme park transformed the Enchanted Christmas Tree into Eldar’s iconic wizard hat. Serving as the ornaments are star-shaped lanterns, each bearing the portrait of the EK storybook characters; while on top is an image of the nativity scene, reminding every guest of the true essence of the Christmas season.
GRAND PAROL
EK embraced Paskong Pinoy and reintroduced the star of Filipino holiday celebrations with its Grand Parol, which shines even brighter at the Spaceport Grounds next to the Space Shuttle rollercoaster ride, where visitors can enjoy its colorful display synchronized with popular Filipino Christmas songs.
The Santa Rosa-based theme park commissioned Eric Bondoc Quiwa, a renowned lantern maker from Pampanga, to create this record-breaking decor, which was installed alongside 100 other parols throughout the park.
ENCHANTMENT CONTINUES UP IN THE SKY
Once again, Eldar the Wizard organizes a grand spectacle light up the sky with the new Timeless Magic Fireworks Show. This includes the special holiday version of EK's 29th. The anniversary theme song, Timeless Magic, was composed and Sung by SMS, the theme park's P-pop girl group.
