Presented by Okotoks GM
Since 1992, Light Up Okotoks has been the kick-off celebration of the holiday season and the annual lighting of the community Christmas Tree. Join us on Friday, November 22, 2024 for festivities throughout the downtown core including wagon rides, warm fire pits, choir performances, late-night shopping, markets and so much more.
One of the biggest traditions, the lighting of the big tree, will happen at the Old Towne plaza at 7 as well as the fireworks show finale at 9 p.m. at Lineham Park.
New this year will be access to the event by bus! Southland transportation will be available from the Foothills Centennial Centre and Seaman Stadium/Okotoks Dawgs to make getting to and from Light Up Okotoks a breeze! This service is completely free and will run continuously until 10:30.
Light Up Okotoks is a free event, however, we encourage you to bring a donation! The Okotoks Food Bank has partnered with the RCMP for the Cram-a-Cruiser drive, where locals can donate money and non-perishable items—located at the corner of Veterans Way and McRae Street.
Also available is the Christmas Charity Truck collecting funds and toys in support of local children's charities located beside the Landmark Site (OKOTOKS letters).
