The new light festival, Holiday In The Park “Christmas Light Festival”, is organized by Fab Events Inc owned by Todd Birss.

 

Todd Birss and his family spent the past 20 months travelling to 40+ cities and towns in Alberta, trying to find unique, antique and family heirlooms for the new Christmas Light Display in Calgary.

Todd Birss told To Do Canada, “We not only found many great elements for our event, but we had the opportunity to meet many families that were so excited to hear our story, our plan…and our vision. We also had the opportunity to hear their story about the item they were graciously willing to part with.”

“A 75 year old rustic building just outside of Lethbridge…was partially torn down by my two boys and I. This has become our Santa photo backdrop.”

“A 70 year old sleigh from a farming family just outside of Carseland. This is now our refurbished Santa sleigh for photos. A 55 year old handmade wood Santa and Reindeer lawn display from Edmonton. We won’t touch this display, as it is absolutely amazing to see how this was built. We promised the family that we would send them a photo of it on display at Heritage Park. So many items, so many stories…makes this Christmas Light event just a little different than all the other amazing displays in and around our city. ”
