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 parol 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.

  • This predecessor of the modern-day Giant Lantern Festival was actually a religious activity that we know today as “lubenas.”
  • The lanterns measured just two feet in diameter, a far cry from the fifteen feet of the lanterns seen today in the festival.
  • These were created in each barrio from bamboo and other locally available materials.
  • During the nine-day novena before Christmas, which coincided with the simbang gabi from December 16 to 24, these paruls were brought around each barrio in procession to their visita.
  • Before the midnight Mass on Christmas Eve, the lanterns were brought to the town church together with the barrio patrons.
