The perfect event for families, or for that cute date night you’ve been looking for, you and everyone you know can get into the festive spirit while admiring the light displays, shopping the Christmas market, or simply cozying up with a warm bevvie and maple taffy in front of a crackling fire.

This year’s theme will also explore the North, featuring an insta-worthy life-sized illuminated polar bear, LED-lit iceberg and a festive 10-metre wide light wall. You can also harness your inner DIY spirit with lantern-making workshops, while taking time to experience Indigenous performances, art installations, giveaways, games and more. And yes, parking is absolutely free at Edmonton City Centre East Parkade from 10 a.m. – 9 p.m.
