It’s the 30th year the Town of Okotoks has put on the event to kick off the holiday season, and it draws a huge crowd every year.
The main event, the lighting of the big tree, will happen at the Old Towne plaza at 7 pm.
There will also be a fireworks show to end the night at 9 pm at Lineham Park.

Organizers have planned ahead for the popular event, with transportation to the festivities being offered by bus. Southland transportation will be available from the Foothills Centennial Centre and Seaman Stadium/Okotoks Dawgs. It’s new this year and completely free, with buses running continuously until 10:30 pm.
There will also be a place to donate money and non-perishable goods to the Okotoks Food Bank for people to get into the spirit of giving!
So get ready to bundle up and enjoy a beautiful night under the stars with some sparkly lights and festive music this Friday.
