Winter Whyte Light Up

Kick off the holiday season with live performances, twinkling lights, cultural experiences, ice carving, rides on the streetcar, and more!

This year’s event features a new mainstage concept, additional programming that connects attendees to our city’s multicultural spirit, and all-ages activities outdoors and indoors, thanks to the support of community partners!

LIGHTS
Watch Old Strathcona become a winter wonderland with the snap of a finger!

ACTIVITIES
Enjoy the Winter Whyte Variety Show on 83 Avenue, and take in magical performances by roving entertainers across the park, farmers’ market, and library.

Indoors, the Edmonton Public Library and the Old Strathcona Farmers’ Market will have free family-friendly activities, like crafts, story time, vendors, and more, while the Edmonton Streetcar will offer short rides (pending snowfall) on their beautifully decorated Christmas car!

COMMUNITY SPIRIT
The holidays are the season of giving, so various local organizations will participate in the event to connect with the community and collect donations. This year, The Mustard Seed will be onsite at the Old Strathcona Farmers’ Market, collecting mittens on a Mitten Tree.
