The City of Firsts: Araneta City Christmas Parolan

The City of Firsts, Araneta City, begins its Christmas celebration by reopening its Christmas Parolan.

Are you trying to find Christmas decorations? This year, Parolan in Araneta City went back to its regular spot at the Farmers Market Parking, which is located along Gen. MacArthur Ave. Located right next to the Farmers Garden, Parolan is no longer merely a market selling holiday goods; it is also a location where people may rediscover the joy of the season.

Concerned about your hunger or need for fast food? You don't need it because eating areas are surrounded by vendors selling puto bumbong and bibingka, two traditional holiday treats from the Philippines. Along with the famous Ilocos empanada, there are also other cuisine options like BBQ, chicharon, lugaw, and other soups.

Puto bumbong is a type of Filipino purple rice cake that is prepared by steaming a ground purple rice mixture inside a bamboo tube.

Due to its accessibility, Christmas Parolan has become the preferred shopping destination. People from Metro Manila's South and North sides, as well as those traveling from the East and West, can easily visit the Christmas market because it is located close to the MRT and LRT lines 2. There are nearby terminals for jeepneys, buses, and UV Express, giving shoppers at the Parolan a variety of options for their preferred means of transportation.
​
Additionally, since nearby malls such as Farmers Plaza, Gateway, and Ali Mall are only a short distance from the Christmas Parolan, one may also shop for Christmas presents in addition to purchasing decorations.

​So, what are you waiting for? Check out ChristmasParolan in Araneta City, Cubao, and Quezon City. Open from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
