Annual Events

Every November, Spruce Grove’s Light Up event invites residents and visitors to kick off the winter season and share in community Christmas spirit by watching the magical lights at Central Park come to life. It is truly a ‘wow’ moment! Under the sparkle of over 250,000 lights, families enjoy skating around the oval rink, sampling snacks and beverages, and participating in crafts and games. The lights remain on for the entire winter season – giving you plenty of time to experience this amazing display.

Family Fest is a special event hosted every New Year’s Eve in Spruce Grove. Enjoy skating, painting, horse rides, a photo booth, fireworks, and more! Relax by the fire with the special someone, or teach the kids how to skate (we are Canadian, after all!). There’s a little something for everyone to enjoy, and really, who wants to go out to a crazy bar on New Year’s? Come spend it with the people you love in the most Canadian way possible.
