Harrison Hot Springs will be overflowing with Christmas spirit this season, thanks to the return of its annual holiday lights festival.
The village has announced that the popular Lights by the Lake will be held from Saturday, November 23, 2024, to Sunday, January 12, 2024.
Visitors will enjoy magical holiday displays that transform the Harrison lakefront into an enchanting world of lights, celebrating the local wildlife and the elusive Sasquatch.
Tourism Harrison
The free event will feel as if you’ve stepped into a Hallmark movie, with decorated Christmas trees and old-fashioned lamps dotting the village square.
Each business will decorate its storefront with cozy holiday cheer, including winter window paintings and colourful lights to make everything glow.
Tourism Harrison
Pop into one of the cafes or restaurants for your favourite seasonal beverage and treats, such as a peppermint mocha, to take with you as you enjoy the light display. Or pick up a guide to see all the Christmas tree displays in Harrison.
As you stroll along Harrison’s wheelchair and stroller-friendly promenade to see all of the custom-built light displays, keep an eye out for the mysterious Sasquatch. The creature may be fishing for sturgeon or keeping warm by the fire.
