The Province of La Union is ready to usher in the happiest season of the year with the opening of the Christmas village on December 1, 2025 at the Speaker Pro Tempore Francisco Ortega Convention Center Complex, Brgy. Sevilla, City of San Fernando, La Union.

This year’s celebration highlights the theme “Naragsak a Paskua,” Iloko for ‘merry Christmas.

Among the main attraction of the Christmas village is the 17-meter giant Christmas tree positioned at the rotunda of the complex and adorned with almost 900 parols, proudly made by Persons Deprived of Liberty (PDLs) from the La Union Provincial Jail.

Gov. Mario Eduardo C. Ortega invites the public to visit the Christmas village. “I’m sure everyone will have a wonderful time during your visit. We want people to feel the Christmas spirit even without spending a lot, and to experience genuine happiness,” he said.

The village features carnival rides, inflatable playground, Christmas bazaars showcasing the towns’ unique products, and food bazaars offering a variety of local dishes. The convention center was also wrapped and illuminated with spectacular lighting display.

“We brought the Christmas Village to this new location to avoid traffic in the town center. This area is more spacious and can accommodate more visitors,” the Governor said.

Big gift installations, colorful decorations, twinkling lights display, and parols filled the place to bring merriment and festive spirit to Elyucanos.

The activity is seen to boost economic activities by attracting more crowd and supporting the local vendors and businesses.

Beyond the dazzling decors, the christmas atmosphere glowing across the village celebrates the unity and collaboration of various offices that defines the local government’s call for #LaUnionAgkaysa.
