NOW on its 5th year, the tallest ferris wheel in the Phillippines was transformed into a Giant Lantern of Hope 2019 held at the Ampitheater of SM City Pampanga.
Thousands spectators were in awe as the Pampanga eye was adorned with 17,664 dancing led lights and became the backdrop of the 10-minute colorful pyro-technic musical show with fireworks in the inner part of the wheel, on-ground and aerial.
SM City Pampanga followed the province’s lantern-making tradition, a heritage that actually goes way back to the 1930s with the arrival of electricity in their province, by transforming the Philippine’s tallest ferris wheel – “The Pampanga Eye” into the Biggest Christmas Lantern of Hope.
SM City Pampanga treated over a hundred aetas from Villa Maria in Porac, Pampanga for the much awaited PyroMusical show.
Visitors and families from the surrounding towns, cities, and provinces can still see and experience the biggest lantern of hope and the amazing spectacle of fireworks display and synchronized dancing lights for the next 3 consecutive Saturdays: November 23, November 30, and December 7 every 6:00 pm.
