Light Up is returning to Invermere on Saturday, November 21 with some big changes!

Adults and kids can look forward to celebrating the kick off to the holiday season during the day starting at 1 pm. Santa’s Den, located in the old Consign It store next to Cenotaph Park, will host kids’ crafts, a Frozen themed photo booth, colouring station and performances from the Silver Strings ukulele band.

And no more waiting in a long line in the dark for pictures with Santa! Pictures with Santa will take place inside Santa’s Den from 3 – 5 p.m.

The Santa Claus Parade will still begin at 6 p.m. running from the Eddie Mountain Memorial Arena to Pothole Park. Immediately following the parade we will light the official Light Up tree in Pothole Park.

Registration is now open for organizations wishing to enter the parade, to register, please email Theresa at [email protected].

Kids can experience snowboarding at the Burton Riglet Park hosted by Panorama Resort. The park gives kids the opportunity to try snowboarding with no snow required! They will be open from 1 – 6 p.m. in downtown Invermere.

We will once again be hosting the kids colouring contest.  Colouring pages will be distributed through schools from Edgewater to Canal Flats. The winner gets to be an honorary parade judge and even ride in the parade!

Adults will not be left out this year. An adult colouring contest will be run through the Valley Peak, the winner will receive an adult colouring book from Main Street Fun and Games. Entries for both colouring contests can be submitted to Main Street Fun and Games no later than Friday, November 13.

Like any event, it takes a lot if work and many volunteers, if you are available to volunteer please contact Theresa Wood at 250-688-9663 or [email protected].
