MAKATI BARES PLANS FOR MAGICAL, MUSICAL NEW YEAR'S EVE COUNTDOWN
posted by : icrd on 12/07/2011
After a two-year hiatus, the New Year’s Eve Countdown in Makati is poised for a spectacular comeback this year with a non-stop concert featuring famous bands, a magical show, a pyro-musical display, and a raffle draw offering a brand new luxury car as the grand prize, among the events lined up by the organizers.
Makati Mayor Jejomar Erwin S. Binay said the countdown will be mounted at the intersection of Ayala and Makati Avenues with the theme, ‘Magical, Musical Makati 2012’, where revellers will be enthralled by the magic tricks of Jeffrey Tam and entertained by the performances of Antimano Band, Bloom Brothers, Grupong Pendong, The Dawn, The Company, and many more.
“The city government and its private sector partners are pulling out all the stops to ensure that this year’s New Year’s Eve Countdown will outshine all previous countdowns we had staged. We aim to derive the utmost enjoyment of residents, visitors and tourists, especially those who have missed it for the past two years and are excited to once again take part in the festivities,” Binay said.
The mayor also said that the event offers the public a safe yet exciting way to welcome the New Year with renewed hope and optimism, and provides a venue for the people of Makati to come together and give thanks to the Almighty for all the blessings received in 2011.
This early, major hotels in the city are coming up with special New Year’s Eve packages, and are expected to be fully booked on December 31.
At the countdown, food booths of traders from the Ayala Center, Salcedo Weekend Market, and the major hotels in the city will provide revellers with a wide variety of Media Noche choices for the traditional New Year’s Eve meal. Six five-star hotels will also provide catering for invited VIP guests.
Meanwhile, mime performers, clowns and fire dancers will be doing their acts along the main stage area to add to the festive atmosphere.
In between the performances will be a series of raffle draws with valuable prizes and a brand new luxury car as grand prize. A 15-minute grand pyro-musical show will cap the countdown to usher in the New Year.
This year’s event is also expected to raise funds for Makati Festivals Foundation. The Foundation fund has been used in various relief assistance operations in calamity-stricken communities.
The Makati New Year’s Eve Countdown is supported by Ayala Land and Makati Commercial Estate Association (MACEA).
