After two years of hiatus, the world’s largest multicolor dancing fountain creates excitement anew. Okada Manila’s main attraction, The Fountain, reopened with a spectacular show and festivities, heralding brighter and more wonderful times ahead.
The exclusive preview of The Fountain’s reopening salvo was attended by media, hotel and casino guests, and corporate accounts. Highlights of the event included The Fountain’s magnificent water, light and music repertoire including two new songs, grand performances by top international artist Morrissette and world-acclaimed Ballet Philippines.
The Fountain: A Spectacular Show
As one of the country’s grandest destinations, Okada Manila prides itself in serving up larger-than-life experiences, with The Fountain as its crown jewel. This $30-million extraordinary feature offers a breathtaking show of artistically choreographed water, light and music performances that can rival those of Dubai’s Burj Khalifa and Las Vegas’ Bellagio. Measuring 37,464 sqm, which is equivalent to 50 Olympic-size swimming pools, The Fountain is equipped with cutting-edge underwater robots, over two-thousand dazzling lights, dozens of high-fidelity speakers, and more than 700 high-powered jets that can shoot water that surpasses the height of Okada Manila’s 19-storey building, as well as showcases projections during stunning water shows. Designed to provide a unique venue for special events and concerts, installed in The Fountain’s lake is an invisible performance stage that allows artists to seemingly walk on water during performances, interacting with the water feature.
Before the pandemic, The Fountain was open 365 days a year, delighting hundreds of people with a dazzling light and water show every evening. Now back in operation, guests of all ages can once again enjoy its evening shows from 6 pm to 10 pm Mondays through Thursdays and from 6 pm to midnight Fridays through Sundays.
