Laguna Ten Bosch: Winter Illuminations, Fireworks and More

This coming holiday season, step into a dazzling world of light, water, and festive cheer at Laguna Ten Bosch’s spectacular new winter event, Laguna Illumination - Carnival of Light and Water.

Kicking off on November 2, 2025, and running through early April 2026, this seasonal celebration promises breathtaking sights and enchanting entertainment for visitors of all ages.

Dive into the Ocean of Lights at Marine Fantasia

A new addition for 2025 is the Marine Fantasia illumination dome, composed of three interconnected domes with ocean-themed projections. The domes are linked by a blue, glowing tunnel, creating an immersive experience that simulates walking underwater. 

The domes incorporate Twinkly technology, allowing for programmable lighting patterns and animations.

Water Drones and Light: A World-First Spectacle

This year's highlight is the Flowers of Light and Water show, featuring water drones and aerial drones that perform synchronized dances over water, illuminated by colorful lights and accompanied by music. This show is notable for being a world-first, utilizing advanced drone technology to create stunning visual effects.

Illuminations That Capture the Spirit of Christmas

Visitors can explore various illuminated installations throughout the park. These include the Crystal Arch, a large light arch positioned over a flowing pool, and the Sea Tunnel, a walkway featuring projections of aquatic animals illuminated in blue. 

The Tree in the Sky is an overhead light display designed to resemble clouds and floating lights, creating a fantasy-like atmosphere.

During the winter season, the park is decorated with over one million LED bulbs. One of the main features is the Rainbow of Fortune, a series of 12 large illuminated arches composed of millions of lights that lead visitors through the park and toward key attractions, such as the Palace of Blue, a blue-themed illuminated structure representing a palace.

Additionally, a large Christmas tree is set up at Gioma Marine Beach and illuminated until January 12, 2026.

Nighttime Festivities & Showstoppers

As evening falls, Laguna transforms into a stage for spectacular entertainment. Watch the sky erupt with the La Reve de Noël fireworks display, where dazzling explosions are choreographed alongside fountains, projection mapping, and lively performances—making it a Christmas spectacle you won’t forget.

For a touch of wonder, the Meleggero show combines laser lights, dancers, and water fountains to tell a story of the sea's mystery, intensified with fireworks on select nights. 

And for a winter fairy tale, the Neige 3D snow mapping transforms the park into a sparkling icy wonderland until early spring.

Children and families will love the Holy Christmas musical dance show, a full-scale holiday performance blending dancing, dramatic projection, and circus acts for heartwarming holiday storytelling.

Celebrate the Season with Lights and Friendship

Ring in the New Year with Laguna’s Happi New Year’s Celebration, where park characters like Gato will extend festive greetings and hand out lucky fortune cookies from January 1-4, 2026. Plus, guests can enjoy the Light-Up Ceremony on December 31, turning on the grand Christmas tree together in a joyful, guest-participation event.

Fun Water Activities and Holiday Shopping

Looking for a little adventure? Hop onto the bumper boats that glide beneath the Marine Fantasia dome — a fun water activity for families and couples alike. Feel the thrill as neon-lit boats glide across the water, with special illumination views from above.

For holiday shopping, wander the Christmas Market, nestled under glowing reindeer and twinkling Christmas trees. Savor delicious seasonal foods like smoked chicken or warm doria, sip hot chocolate, and browse Christmas ornaments, snow globes, and adorable holiday crafts.

Stay Overnight in a Magical Light Room

Stay overnight in the Illumination Room at the quirky Hennnahotel Laguna Ten Bosch, specially prepared with window views of the sparkling park scenes — perfect for a romantic getaway or family adventure.
