Karaoke might be our “unofficial national sport” because nothing brings Filipinos together like music.
And from September onwards, Christmas carols begin to drift from jeepneys, and videoke machines come alive with nostalgic holiday tunes.
This year, Kultura blends music and merriment with Himig ng Pasko, a festive, week-long Christmas market – with a retro twist!
Co-presented by Mastercard, join us from Nov.17-23 at the Main Mall Atrium, SM Mall of Asia, Kultura’s Himig ng Pasko for your holiday haven.
Admission is free — no tickets, no passes, just pure holiday fun!
Complete your Christmas list at a retro-inspired space with endless gift options for every personality, style, and budget.
Himig ng Pasko was launched on Nov. 17 with an exciting media afternoon hosted by Sam YG, game prizes from Brasserie on three at Conrad Manila and Lanson Hotel, and an exclusive live show featuring up-and-coming OPM band Solace Out The Door.
