The Deets
Fam, Okotoks just threw down! Their "Light Up Okotoks" event was straight fire. We're talking thousands of peeps showed up to kick off the holiday season. Friday, November 21, 2025? Yeah, that's when the magic happened, no cap.
And get this – they didn't just throw a party, they WON an award for it! Like, "Best Event for a City or Municipality" at the Canadian Event Awards. Major W!
So, what was poppin' at this event? Christmas carols were bussin', wagon rides were a vibe, they had ice sculptures looking all icy, and a main stage with performances that were totally extra. And, of course, the Christmas tree lighting was the main event. Fireworks? Duh. Fire pits to keep it cozy? Fo sho. Horse-drawn wagon rides for that old-school aesthetic? You know it.
Elizabeth, McRae, and North Railway Streets? Yeah, they were shut DOWN. The whole historic downtown was transformed into a holiday wonderland. It was the place to be, period.
