Christmas on the Square Holiday Light Up
November 04, 2009
Join the City of Edmonton and the Downtown Business Association on Saturday, November 14, for this year’s Christmas on the Square Holiday Light Up.
Date: Saturday November 14, 2009
Time: 1pm - 6pm
Location: Sir Winston Churchill Square
Come to Sir Winston Churchill Square to enjoy shopping at the 104th Street City Market, warm drinks, Christmas choirs, and a variety of entertainment. Don’t miss seeing the candy cane switch being thrown by Mayor Stephen Mandel and Santa Claus to light up the annual Christmas tree and kick off an amazing fireworks show at 5pm.
The white spruce, donated by Millar Western, will stand nearly 60 feet tall and EPCOR will be decorating it with nearly 8,000 LED bulbs. In addition to the tree’s traditional lights, the branches will be decorated with hundreds of new LED lights, including cascading snowfalls, star-flashes, and sparkles.
The Edmonton Food Bank will be collecting food donations and Santa’s Anonymous will be collecting new books and toys on site during the event. Please bring a donation.
