The country’s flagship theme park pairs three decades of magic with a passionate call to protect local wildlife and culture.
For thirty-one years, Enchanted Kingdom has stood as the premier realm of magic and adventure in the Philippines. This October, the park turns its spotlight onto a different kind of wonder: the natural world. Through its month-long Fiesta ng Saribuhay anniversary celebration, the park is weaving the nation’s rich biodiversity, distinct heritage, and local talent into its signature lineup of entertainment and attractions.
The goal goes beyond simple celebration. By placing environmental stewardship alongside classic theme park fun, the park aims to deepen every visitor’s connection to the living treasures that make the Philippine archipelago unique.
A Month of Festivities, Music, and Movement
The anniversary calendar kicks off on October 2 with a dedicated World Teachers’ Day event. Designed to honor the educators shaping the country’s youth, the day features engaging workshops, live performances, and exclusive giveaways.
Fitness and conservation enthusiasts can lace up their running shoes on October 11 for the Run to 31: Takbo ng Saribuhay Fun Run. This community event highlights wellness and environmental awareness, with registration details slated for release on the park’s official social channels.
Throughout October, the park’s streets will come alive every weekend with energy and color. Dancers performing the Fiesta ng Saribuhay street routines will showcase regional cultures, while the park’s beloved Storyverse characters illuminate the night during a dazzling evening parade.
Mid-month brings a treat for music lovers, starting October 17 when R&B hitmaker Dionela headlines the Fiesta ng Saribuhay Concert alongside an impressive roster of local talent. The momentum keeps rolling into the following night, October 18, with a second wave of surprise OPM artists taking the stage to close out the weekend’s festivities.
Flavors and Fresh Additions
Sensory experiences extend well beyond the stage and street. Inspired by the landscapes featured in the park’s premier flight motion simulator, the culinary team is introducing the Saribuhay Menu. Guests can savor wholesome, locally inspired dishes at both the LaunchTime and Amazon Grill restaurants.
Additionally, the park is expanding its retail and dining footprint over the coming months. Visitors can look forward to new choices, including Pepper Lunch at the EK Portico, Minimelts, Stroop & Zo, and Mango Royal.
A Deeper Journey Into the Wild
The centerpiece of this year’s milestone is the launch of AGILA The EKsperience: SARIBUHAY 2.5. Building on the ride’s recognition as the Best ASEAN New Tourism Attraction by the ASEAN Tourism Association (ASEANTA), this updated attraction introduces enhanced pre- and post-show elements.
Upon entering, visitors travel through a multi-sensory walkthrough that details the ride’s creative origins and symbolic design. The path leads deeper into the simulated domain of the Philippine eagle, offering an intimate look at the lifecycle and conservation challenges of this critically endangered bird.
At the exit, the refreshed Pugad store merges retail with education, allowing guests to take home sustainable keepsakes that reflect their journey through the nation’s ecosystems.
Voices for Conservation
To spread this message beyond the park boundaries, Enchanted Kingdom has named its homegrown P-pop group, SMS, as Saribuhay Explorers. The group will produce short-form digital content to engage younger audiences, sparking conversation about biodiversity and environmental preservation across social media.
Event schedules may change with prior notice.
