The parol lantern is the quintessential Filipino symbol of hope, blessings, luck, and peace, during the holiday season, and can be found lighting up windows in Filipino homes throughout the world.

The Parol Lantern Festival takes place annually at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts every December. We invite you to participate in the Taste of Christmas, Parol Stroll and Tala Awards, and come together in the spirit of community.
