Nuvali Estate’s Fountain of Lights returns

Nuvali Estate's Fountain of Lights, a signature holiday event at Ayala Land’s 2,400-hectare estate and the country’s original water show, returns this year bigger and better, featuring a spectacular showcase filled with festive spirit, adventure, and family-friendly fun.

The Nuvali Fountain of Lights: A Magical Tradition Anew

At the heart of this holiday season at Nuvali is the Fountain of Lights, an enchanting display of lights, music, and storytelling — a must-see nightly show for families, especially kids of all ages and kids at heart. Starting this November, the show will feature two main thematic performances that will captivate audiences of all ages: “Dragons of Prosperity” and “Journey to Toy Island.” These awe-inspiring narratives are designed to spark the imagination and bring a sense of wonder to children and adults alike.

“Dragons of Prosperity” tells a magical tale of life and rebirth, where mystical dragons representing the elements of earth, water, wind, and fire come to life in a symphony of lights and movement. The dragons’ ethereal dance symbolizes the cycle of renewal and hope that mirrors the spirit of the holiday season—making it not only a visually striking experience but also one filled with meaning and value.

The second show, “Journey to Toy Island,” takes audiences on a whimsical adventure aboard a paper boat that embarks on a journey to a distant island of magical toys. This playful story will spark joy and nostalgia in children and adults alike, reminding us of the innocence and excitement of childhood wonder.

A Mini Theme Park and Play

This year, Nuvali’s Fountain of Lights light, sound, and water show extends into a multi-sensory holiday spectacle with on-ground installations of the show’s highlights, featuring dragons and life-size toys that kids and adults can play with, creating a magical setting for families to explore and make unforgettable memories together.

The Gift of Kindness: Nuvali’s Toy Donation Drive

As part of its holiday celebrations, Nuvali also invites families to join in spreading the joy of Christmas through their Toy Donation Drive. In the spirit of giving, Nuvali Estate, Ayala Malls Solenad, Seda Nuvali, and The Driving Range are collaborating to bring the Gift of Kindness to life — a special toy drive dedicated to bringing smiles to children in Sitio Iraq, Barangay Macabling, Sta. Rosa, Laguna.

Visitors can donate new or used toys that are still in good condition at designated donation stations throughout the area.

To participate, all they need to do is:

1. Bring a Toy: Whether new or gently used;

2. Drop Off at Designated Locations: Donations can be placed in the Giant Toy Box, located at the viewing deck for the Fountain of Lights;

3. Share the Spirit: Capture and share a photo of your donation on social media with #GiftOfKindnessNuvali to encourage others to join in.

This toy drive serves as a meaningful way for Nuvali to support those in need, uplift the less fortunate, and spread joy and kindness throughout the community.

Visitors’ participation in this toy drive will make a significant impact on the lives of many children. Through this initiative, Nuvali hopes to teach generosity and selflessness while fostering a sense of community that extends beyond our estate, with the shared goal of making a positive impact on society.

With all of these traditional and new offerings, there’s always something special to do for every member of the family that’s truly magical. Everyone is encouraged to come early for a fully enjoyable experience. They can explore the beautifully decorated grounds, snap memorable photos with the holiday displays, and delight in the food stalls, toy booths, and weekly Christmas workshops that add to the joyful Nuvali experience before the shows begin.

Nuvali’s Fountain of Lights Festival can be experienced from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM every Friday to Sunday from 14 November 2024 to 5 January 2025.
