Airdrie Festival of Lights

FAMILY SKATE NIGHT!
6pm - 9pm
In partnership with Nose Creek Valley Museum!

A GLOWing way to celebrate the end of our season, and ring in a family friendly New Year.
Bring your family and friends, along with your skates, to enjoy skating amidst beautifully lit Holiday Displays! Then warm yourself by one of our Fire Pits, while sipping on a cup of hot chocolate or apple cider.

Don't have skates?

Nose Creek Valley Museum has you covered with FREE rentals at the skate shack onsite. Please note there will be no sticks or hockey permitted this evening.

Also note that fireworks take place off site, at Ed Eggerer Park in Airdrie, but can still be seen from Nose Creek Park amidst the displays. Helpful for those who do not enjoy the loud noises, especially our four legged friends!

FortisAlberta - LIGHT UP THE NIGHT!
5:30pm

Thanks to our sponsor, FortisAlberta, we'll be gathering round the tree to sing some carols with the Airdrie Community Choir, followed by the countdown to tree lighting and official opening of our 30th GLOWing season!

Back again is our Candy Cane Run, with our local Fire Department, who will be handing out candy canes to all in attendance.

It's that movie moment that brings a community together to celebrate the season. We can't wait to see you!

After the tree lighting you can visit with FortisAlberta in our heated tent for some fun give-a-ways, or take a ride up in their lift-truck for a bird's eye view of the lights!

Open for our 30th GLOWing Season!
6pm - 9pm
