It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year in Baliwag, Bulacan!

Baliwag, Bulacan opens the season of joy with a ceremonial Christmas tree lighting at the Heroes' Park.  
The Municipality of Baliwag, Bulacan kicks-off the Christmas Season with the lighting of a giant Christmas Tree today, December 1, 2017, 6:00-7:30 P.M. at the Heroes' Park. The tree, propped up a la white Christmas, is Bulacan's tallest Christmas tree constructed primarily out of recycled materials. The tree remains lit and may be viewed until January 2018.

The festive lighting of the Baliwag Christmas Tree is one of series of Christmas activities in town dubbed as Paskong Pasko sa Baliwag 2017 - a tradition that was started during the time of Mayor Romy Estrella. The event was made more lively with musical performances by Vox Anime and other local artists. Hundreds crowded the park and sidewalks to witness event.

The lighting ceremonies were spearheaded by Baliwag Municipal Mayor, Honorable Ferdinand V. Estrella and witnessed by the members of Sangguniang Bayan and the Municipal Department Heads.

Other events to watch out for during season are: Munting Pangarap Concert on December 10, Pasakalye on December 13 and Paskong Paslit on December 14, among others. This event was made possible through efforts of the Local Government Unit of Baliwag, Bulacan, especially, Municipal Environment and Natural Resources Office (MENRO) and Baliwag Tourism Office, among others.
