The City of Red Deer and Downtown Business Association (DBA) have planned four weeks of holiday themed activities downtown and throughout the city.

Officials say the fun starts today with the lights and decorations in City Hall Park lighting up for the first time.

Highlights include:

• Light displays at City Hall Park, Ross Street Patio, and Capstone
• Rare and Remarkable Art Market – November 25 and 26 at the Imperial Block building
• North Pole Plaza Party – December 1 at Gary W. Harris Celebration Plaza
• Winter Nights event – December 2,3,4 at Canada 150 Square in Capstone
• Santa’s Bus Tour – December 9, 10, 16, 17 – On four different December evenings, Santa and his crew will tour city neighbourhoods in a Red Deer Transit bus, sharing Christmas joy through the city.

“We’re excited about the extension of our annual holiday festivities from a single event to a four-week initiative,” said Bobby-Jo Stannard, Community Development Superintendent. “The transition provides many opportunities for community celebration and connection while continuing the tradition of the spectacular light displays City Hall Park is known for.”
