## Why go

Families with children who love Disney, and anyone who wants a big tree lighting with live music on a Friday night

## Good to know

When we checked on 4 November 2026, Okada's English event page listed no ticket or admission details for the lighting. Its Vietnamese page says entry depends on venue capacity and event rules, and that the programme and performers may change, so arrive early for a spot in the Fountain Foyer. Okada is in Entertainment City by Manila Bay, so give yourself extra time from Makati or BGC on a Friday evening. Last year Okada lit its tree on 14 November 2025.

## About this event

Okada Manila opens its Christmas season with a Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony in the Fountain Foyer and the opening of its Magical Holiday Village. Jessica Sanchez sings Disney songs and holiday favourites with the Manila Philharmonic Orchestra, with duets with Jed Madela, and Okada says you may get to meet some Disney friends. The tree lights up with synchronised lights, music and effects, then the evening moves to the village, which Okada says has four festive zones, including a Disney themed "Party with the Magic" zone, and runs its first village lights show that night. The "Party with the Magic" season continues until 7 January 2027, with Disney themed pastries and gifts around the resort, The Maze from 15 November and a Winnie the Pooh installation at The Garden from 15 December.
