The display is put together by volunteers who spend thousands of hours creating the shining assortment of Christmas figures and decked-out trees.
This year’s festival is now 99% green as it is created using LED bulbs connected by nearly three kilometres of power cords.
Festive Calgarians can check out the drive-by display starting on Saturday, December 2, all the way until January 8, 2018 – because the spirit of Christmas doesn’t have to leave after the 25th!
Grab a hot chocolate, bring along some family and friends, and enjoy the free display to get yourself into the spirit of the season.
