The word 'parol' is derived from the Spanish word 'farol,' which means 'lantern.' The parol is a star shaped lantern popular among many households in the Filipinx diaspora during the holidays. Some families will start hanging their parols & decorating as early as sept! In this workshop, visitors will learn how to assemble their own parol frame and spend time decorating them just in time for Christmas. This workshop is free, open to all ages and cultural backgrounds. Young children must be accompanied by an adult.
