As hard as this year has tried, it's not going to leave us in the dark. We are about to LIGHT 2020 UP!

 

Today, November 20th, our very anticipated Light Up Okotoks takes place and though it's going to be very different it's not going to be any less festive!

A lot of people are saying..."well I know it's going to be different but what's exactly happening?" (Great question!)

I've got the answers for you, here's a run down on 2020's Light Up Okotoks!

- 2020 Okotoks Light Up: This year it's all about the annual light tour! A map will be announced tomorrow @ 5:30pm (I love the suspense!). So grab a hot cocoa, your fam or close friends and check out all the beautiful Christmas displays. ALSO Mayor Bill will be doing a virtual tree lighting so don't miss that! (what would this pandemic be without a virtual alternative!?)

^no such thing as too much. 😆

- Okotoks Elks Christmas Market: Their farmers market was such a success they decided to have a Christmas version! (I love that for us!) Check out this Xmas market, conveniently located downtown, that will host 40+ vendors at the Elks Hall. Jewellery, Fine Arts, Sewing, Baking, Beer & Spirits all some of the gifts featured here! Treat your loved ones OR yourself!

- Festive Friday's: Starting this Friday a bunch of your fave local downtown businesses are staying open later than usual so you can enjoy some festive eats, good treats and Christmas shopping! They've got a map laid out with all the places you'll want to hit. Don't know what to do with the little ones? Call The Park! Choose local this holiday season!

- Light Up Okotoks @ the Library: the Library is open 5pm-8pm for Light Up with some fun actives for the fam! Whether it be an old fashioned bag of Christmas crafts, a festive family photo or a Christmas Wishing Tree Fundraiser. They've got it all to kick off everything Xmas!

Photos @ the library be like ^

Well, there ya have it! A little bit of a rundown on what's happening! Do you know of anything else? Let me know!

Comment on Facebook if I've missed anything so we can get everyone in on the Christmas spirit!
