Lantern Fest '25 Officially Kicks Off with Grand Parade and Street Dance
The Central Luzon State University (CLSU) officially kicked off the Lantern Festival with a Grand Parade and Street Dance, joined by the students, faculty, staff, and officials, held today, December 18, at the campus grounds. The parade began at the Visionary Gate, traversed Academic Avenue, and continued to University Avenue, where it featured handcrafted floats and lanterns made by the students. One of the highlights of the event was the participation of College Deans and faculty alongside their students in a quick street dance before leading to the Oval for the Opening Ceremony. This annual tradition, spearheaded by the University Supreme Student Council (USSC), powerfully showcases the artistry, collaboration, and collective spirit of the CLSU community. Other events will be held this afternoon, with a full day of pocket events lined up, including the Christmas Concierto, the Serene Empress pageant, a spectacular Fireworks Display, and a vibrant Music Festival with the highly anticipated performances by Magiliw Street, We Tell Stories, SugarCane, and Fitterkarma. This will also be followed by the Battle of the Bands and the Live DJ Performance.
