Every city in our country have their own festivities during ber months or every christmas. Let me showcase the colorful attraction of Capiz every year,which is the "PANAY CHRISTMAS VILLAGE".YEEEYYY!!
The town of Panay lies just 20-30 minutes away from the heart of Roxas City, the province's capital. It is accessible through a tricycle ride or by taking a public van bound to the town of Pontevedra (just tell the driver to drop you off at Panay town plaza). You may also charter your own tricycle for faster transport.Panay Christmas Village dates back in the 1980s with lights simply hung on the municipal building, the facade of Sta. Monica Church and the Parish convent. In 2008 play houses were added, which were later organized into a village, becoming grander and grander each year. This holiday showcase is now eagerly anticipated by locals and has become part of the Christmas tradition in the town of Panay.
One of the highlights of the Christmas Village is the Giant Christmas tree that stands right in front of the town hall. As tall as the building itself, every year sees a new motif for the tree. They used to decorate it with parol (Christmas lantern), then, they decided it should be an artificial pine tree filled with balls and canes. It is enveloped with lights and topped with a huge star and you could wish Santa Claus sitting on its foot to ask you what do you want for Christmas.
Let me share some photos of me and my family during our last visit in the christmas village.
We really had fun during our last visit here. We enjoyed gazing at all the lights encricling the whole area. Every corner is instagram-worthy! ❤
Panay christmas village is for free so its a favorite local destination during the holiday. People from nearby towns comes here hoping to catch the christmas spirit and spend some time with their family during holiday season.
Come to the town of Panay and feel this unique Christmas experience. Lights are on from 6PM until 10PM.
Wish you could give me round trip tickets to visit your place. Hahaha. I'll be expecting a giveaway from you soon.
