For Kawit’s holiday celebration, the municipal government established Paskuhan sa Kawit, featuring a unique mix of modern Christmas decor and lighting in their historical monument in the province, the Aguinaldo Shrine and Freedom Park.
Kawit’s Local Government Unit (LGU) opened the holiday-themed shrine and park on November 18 via a concert event featuring artists such as Gessie K., Nef Medina, and Agsunta.
The LGU announced the Christmas display would be open to visitors from 6:00 PM to 12:00 AM to accommodate Las Tiendas customers and those attending the time-honored tradition of Simbang Gabi.
