The timeless Mid-Autumn Festival tradition came to life today at the Clark Moon Festival 2025, gathering the Clark Community at Clark Global City’s West Aeropark to celebrate key partnerships and the region’s continuous growth.
Known in Asia as the Moon Festival, this cherished tradition symbolizes family unity, thanksgiving, and harmony. The festival, typically marked by moon gazing, lantern displays, and sharing mooncakes, embodies the ideals of togetherness and prosperity—values that strongly resonate with Clark’s journey as a thriving community and investment destination.
Jointly hosted by the Clark International Airport Corporation (CIAC), Clark Development Corporation (CDC), Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA), and several private sector partners, this year’s theme was “Light the Skies and Celebrate Partnerships.” The theme underscored the collaborative spirit of the stakeholders who are transforming Clark into a world-class hub for aviation, commerce, culture, and tourism.
Now in its second year, the festival has become a major gathering of stakeholders, government agencies, private partners, and investors, collectively fueling Clark’s growth and strengthening its global positioning.
“Today’s celebration is not only a cultural gathering but also a recognition of the partnerships that create real impact for people and communities,” Jojit Alcazar, CIAC president and chief executive said.
“By lighting the skies together, we strengthen the bonds that drive inclusive growth, foster investor confidence, and ensure that Clark’s transformation into a world-class hub… is matched by a community-driven spirit of progress and shared prosperity,” he added.
The program featured a giant mooncake, a lantern lighting ceremony, and cultural performances by groups like the PSAU Imago Dei Chorale and the Lahing Mananayaw dance group, alongside festivities showcasing Filipino-Chinese and Korean arts. Beyond the cultural exchange, the event provided a platform for dialogue among stakeholders, reaffirming their shared commitment to Clark’s future as a globally competitive aviation, investment, and tourism destination.
