Edmonton 
Events Description
Enjoy live music by Robyn Ashley Music. Check out the ice carving demonstrations by Activate Arts Alberta. Get your photo taken with Santa inside City Hall from 5–8pm, and create a unique LEGO™ ornament for the community tree, hosted by the Northern Alberta LEGO™ Users Group.
Warm up with a free hot chocolate from the Hallway Café, in front of a fire pit or in one of the warming geodomes. Food trucks will be on site for those wishing to purchase a hot meal or snack.
Skate the night away under the festive glow of twinkling canopy lights strung over the City Hall Ice rink (weather and ice conditions permitting). Free skate and skate aid rentals will be available, courtesy of the Edmonton Arts Council.
At 5pm, join Mayor Andrew Knack in counting down to the official lighting of the Christmas Tree, and watch as the City Hall skating rink comes alive with lights. A White Spruce tree on the west side of Sir Winston Churchill Square will be lit again this year in support of the City’s sustainability goals.
