This year’s Pintung Wanjin Christmas Season adopts the theme “A Little Starlight,” symbolizing that every individual is a unique star. By joining hands to light up the night, the event hopes to continue spreading more brightness and inspiration to more people, fully embodying the spirit of love and power conveyed by Wanjin Church.

The Christmas season events kick off in early December with several warm-up activities, the most notable being the Christmas SHOW Creative Christmas Tree Competition. The official opening light ceremony for the Christmas Season is set for December 15th at Wanjin Church, followed by a large-scale grassland picnic, the Wanjin Christmas Feast, and the Christmas Heatwave Dance Competition during the holidays on December 17th–18th. On Christmas Eve, there will be a Christmas market during the day, and the highlight of the night will be the Wanjin Christmas Music Light Show and Blessing Gala. This annual event is the most popular Christmas celebration in southern Taiwan. For those looking to experience a joyful, vibrant atmosphere along with the sacred ambiance of the church, the Wanjin Christmas Season is truly a top choice for the holidays.
