Now all the ghouls, ghosts and devils have gone home, their bellies full of Halloween treats, it is time to plan for Christmas.
Lethbridge Agri-Food Hub and Trade Centre will be aglow with Christmas spirit “Around the World,” Nov. 23- Dec. 31.
Tickets go on sale today, Nov. 1 for this once in a lifetime virtual trip around the world though lights.
“ This is the type of event we’ve been wanting to host since we first started building this building,” said Lethbridge and District Exhibition CEO Mike Warkentin, adding it is an opportunity for families to have an immersive experience including over 1 million lights guiding you through a virtual trip around the world including stops at the Eiffel Tower, London Bridge, the Taj Mahal and more. There will also be live music, treats and a visit from Santa Claus.
Glow Gardens originated in Langley, B.C., and has expanded its annual Glow shows to Calgary, Edmonton, Saskatoon, Halifax, and Hartford, Conn., and is now recognized as Canada’s largest indoor Christmas light show.
“It’s different in every city,” said Paul Kingsmith, Lethbridge and Exhibition Sr. manager of marketing and Communications.
“ This is the first of many events like this we plan to hold,” Warkentin said.
“ It’s cozy, warm and inviting.”
