During the summer season, people typically gravitate toward beach getaways, island explorations, and water activities in far-flung areas. However, for those in search of city-based summer festivals, Ayala Triangle Gardens (ATG) emerges as the ultimate destination, offering a plethora of activities spanning cultural, social, and culinary dimensions.
Ayala Triangle Gardens, along with Tower One, Exchange Plaza, Tower 2, Makati Stock Exchange, and its sprawling gardens, is situated within Makati Central Business District, an Ayala Land estate. The estate covers a total land area of 950 hectares, boasting 74,788 sqm of open space and attracting an estimated daily pedestrian traffic of 500,000 along Ayala Avenue. Additionally, it includes nine parks and gardens, several Ayala Malls complexes, international 5-star hotels, ultra-high luxury condominium projects, and the Ayala Museum.
At the core of it all lies Ayala Triangle Gardens, with its refreshing environment for relaxation and leisure. “Ayala Triangle Gardens is set to be the portrait of community vibrancy and engagement right at the heart of the city. Its new developments are a testament to Ayala Triangle Gardens’ commitment to blending lifestyle, culture, and recreation,” said Sharon Vital, marketing manager of Makati and Circuit Estates of Ayala Land.
“The experiences at Ayala Triangle Gardens are curated to delight every sense. People can leisurely stroll beneath the canopies or around the park, indulge in a feast of flavors from around the world (at the restaurant row or at Tower 2), or find Zen in an outdoor yoga class. It is a place to live in the moment, create memories, and immerse in the vibrant tapestry of city life,” she continued.
Nature lovers can enjoy leisurely walks, picnics, and moments of relaxation amid the park’s lush greenery and thoughtfully designed areas, with endemic trees dotting the landscape. Cultural and social engagements thrive with events like Dia del Libro last April 20, an event hosted by Instituto Cervantes de Manila, the Embassy of Spain, Ayala Land, and Make it Makati, which showcased performances, art installations, and pop-up libraries. The Car-Free Sunday event is also a must-visit for those seeking to live a healthier lifestyle while promoting sustainability and environmental awareness.
ATG also provides a dynamic venue for festivals, including the Spanish fest Féria de Abril, Craft Beer Fest 2024, the French food and wine festival, and even pet fairs, offering cultural diversity for the community. For culinary delights, the gardens also feature new restaurants and dining options, including Manam and Greyhound Cafe, as well as coffee shops like H Proper and Common Man.
In the coming weeks, more activities are planned, including brand activations, where prestigious global and local brands will showcase fashion shows, art activities, and product launches. Ayala Triangle Gardens will also host additional food, art, music, and cultural festivals, celebrating the diverse offerings of the city during the summer season.
