Kick off the holiday season with the County’s annual Celebration of Lights

On Saturday, November 19, the community is invited to help kick off Strathcona County’s holiday season with the Celebration of Lights winter wonderland festivities at Festival Place.

Festivities take place from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. and include an opportunity for a FREE picture with Santa. This year’s free festival activities include wagon rides, reindeer visits, writing letters to Santa, campfire cooking, holiday crafts and more.

At 5 p.m., the countdown begins, and the magic of the season will come alive with the lighting of the community Christmas lights.

Festival Way will be closed at Brentwood Blvd N from 2:30 p.m. to 5:30pm. Parking is available at the Community Centre parkade and Centre in the Park parkade.

Volunteers are still needed for crafts, wagon rides, cookie decorating and more. Contact volunteer@strathcona.ca or 780-467-2211 to volunteer.

Please share the holiday spirit by bringing a donation for the Strathcona Food Bank.

Come warm cold toes inside Festival Place after the Celebration of Lights to enjoy a show by Big Hank and the Kingpins Tribute to the Blues Songs of Christmas. The show starts at 7:30 p.m.
