POSTPONED Strathcona County’s Celebration of Lights
On Wednesday (Nov.25), Strathcona County announced that their holiday drive-thru event planned for the weekend, the Celebration of Lights, had to be cancelled following Jason Kenney’s announcement on new COVID-19 restrictions.
“We are well above the current capacity number of 10 for outdoor events,” explained Nick Meronyk with Strathcona County. “And then with the bullet on the provincial website saying there’s a prohibition on events and festivals, we decided it was best to postpone until we can give the quality of product that we intend.”
On Sunday, November 29, help kick off Strathcona County’s holiday season with the Celebration of Lights special winter wonderland drive-thru event!
For safety reasons, the festival is drive-thru only; no foot traffic will be permitted. Attendees must stay in their vehicle.
This year’s Celebration of Lights will feature a light show and LED Christmas tree, live entertainment, a live nativity scene, fire dancing, appearances from Santa and The Grinch, and a Santa letter mailbox for pre-written letters. Celebration of Lights is free, however attendees are asked to share the holiday spirit by bringing a monetary or non-perishable food donation for the Strathcona Food Bank.
