In the evening of November 29, Saint Louis University (SLU) in Baguio City lit up its own giant Christmas tree which stands adjacent to the Jose Rizal Building within the campus. Thousands of students, guests and visitors attended the lighting ceremonies. A simple program and a mini-concert also graced the event. The Cordilleran Sun was there to witness the event.

Students and other participants in the parade will pass through Session Road and proceed to the Melvin Jones Football Grounds in Burnham Park.

The Lantern Parade also coincides with the launching of the Christmas in Baguio festivities. Session Road will be closed from midnight of November 30 to midnight of December 1 to give way to the events on said day.
