My ZamboangueƱo Christmas

The lights and lanterns are up, and the pueblo has started to resemble a little Christmas postcard without the snow. Downtown people have started swarming to City Hall to take pictures with families and friends. The fountain in Plaza Pershing is most colorful at night and some visitors have taken out their cameras to capture the moments before the crowd doubles, with Christmas Day nearing and the air becoming a little colder. 


This is City Hall in lights, tourists and other visitors take their photos with the facade when the decors and lights are in full swing. 

More details and angles below







Plaza Pershing has just recently completed its fountains and has become quite an attraction among the locals.






Street lanterns like these can be seen all over town.

The gazebo is also showered with lights and decors.



The street lamps in every corner are followed by street lanterns.


Balloon vendors also crowd the plaza at night for those who want to bring home a balloon as a souvenir.
