The Dumarao Christmas Village captures the essence of Filipino values, transporting visitors back to the nostalgic charm of the 1980s, when the town’s train was a vital lifeline for the community. This year’s theme, "Paskwa sa Dalanon," symbolizes the journey of Mary and Joseph seeking shelter, a narrative that resonates deeply with the humility and faith of Dumaraonons.
Along the village streets, glowing white stars illuminate the highways, serving as beacons of purity and sincerity. These decorations guide visitors through a festive landscape reminiscent of simpler times when families gathered at the market, brought together by the shared joy of preparing for Noche Buena.
Paskwa ni JuOne weaves the cultural heritage of Dumarao into a tapestry of sights, sounds, and flavors. This Christmas Village celebrates the traditions of the '80s and '90s, evoking fond memories of a time when children crafted decorations from humble materials, and neighbors bonded over shared holiday meals.
