Organizers estimate that the entire drive-thru experience will take approximately 25 to 30 minutes to complete, urging visitors to maintain a speed of 3 km/hr to fully enjoy the display.
In addition to providing festive cheer, the event also supports local charities through its partnership with the Kinsmen Club of St. Albert. A portion of each ticket sale is donated to the Kinsmen charities. Last year, the event raised $27,000 for these causes. This year, organizers continue to support the community by collecting non-perishable food items and toys for the St. Albert Kinettes Christmas Hamper program, which assists over 300 local families.
