Enchanted Kingdom celebrates 30 Years of Magic with Forever Enchanted! Anniversary Weekend

Enchanted Kingdom (EK), the first and only world-class theme park in the Philippines, marked 30 years of creating magical experiences and memories that last a lifetime at Forever Enchanted! EK’s 30th Anniversary Celebration last October 18 and 19.

The most magical celebration of the year featured Enchanting Anniversary Shows and back-to-back live concerts, which parkgoers enjoyed with the extended Park hours from 10AM to 11PM. The iconic rollercoaster, Space Shuttle, also reopened after its magical upgrade just in time for the anniversary weekend.

The two-day festivities kicked into gear with the Wheel of Fate: The Magical Journey of Eldar the Wizard, where the Park’s legacy ride transformed into a canvas for EK’s first-ever projection mapping show. The Echoes of Enchantment Grand Parade soon followed, showcasing a series of vibrant floats representing each of the Park’s three decades with EK’s Storyverse characters guiding the guests to the concert venues.
