(MVA) — Capping off a monthlong celebration, the 18th Annual Christmas in the Marianas will conclude with a final night of live entertainment, food and drinks on Saturday, Jan. 7, from 5 to 9 p.m. at Garapan Fishing Base.

The event is organized by the Marianas Visitors Authority in partnership with PDM Promoters and Pacific Development Inc.
“Christmas in the Marianas has been annual signature of MVA for nearly two decades, providing a festive holiday celebration on Saturdays for both our visitors and our residents,” said MVA Acting Managing Director Judy C. Torres. “This year, due to Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve both falling on a Saturday, we are extending our celebration one more night into January, which fits in nicely with the end of the Christmas season on Three Kings Day celebrated by many in our community this Sunday. We invite everyone to come out and enjoy Saturday’s festivities.”
In celebration of Lunar New Year on Jan. 23, the illumination display at Garapan Fishing Base will remain up until Jan. 23.
