The Taguig City government welcomed the yuletide season by opening the Christmas by the Lake, an outdoor attraction.
It is located in the Lakeshore Area along Laguna Lake Highway in Barangay Lower Bicutan.
Now on its third year, the Christmas by the Lake showcases animated displays and the Northern Lights experience, a first in the country.
Inspired by aurora borealis (northern lights), or natural light display in the sky, the light show fills the night sky with vibrant colors of green, purple, and blue.
Also on display at the park is a Giant Christmas Tree, a revolving display that lights up the entire attraction.
