DECEMBER 15-30 “GIANT LANTERN FESTIVAL”
The Giant Lantern Festival (Kapampangan: Ligligan Parul) is an annual festival held in mid-December in the City of San Fernando in the Philippines. The festival features a competition of giant lanterns. Because of the popularity of the festival, the city has been nicknamed the "Christmas Capital of the Philippines". The San Fernando lantern industry evolved from the Giant Lantern Festival of San Fernando. The festival, which is held every December, finds its roots in Bacolor where a much simpler activity was held. Following the transfer of the provincial capital from Bacolor to San Fernando on August 1904, this lantern event followed as well. "Ligligan Parul" was said to have started in San Fernando in 1904. But some say that the "Ligligan Parul" did not happen immediately after the transfer and in fact began in 1908.
