Light Up Blackfalds! Returns November 21
Blackfalds, Alberta (November 20, 2025) – The Town of Blackfalds is kicking off the holiday season with fan-favourite Light Up Blackfalds, sponsored by Stantec, on Friday, November 21!
Every year, the Parks Department transforms Tayles Water Spray Park into a winter wonderland with musical light displays that shine every night during the holiday season. Viewers are encouraged to walk along the paths in Tayles Park, take photos, and enjoy the spectacle!
“This year, the park has roughly 1,414 string lights, with a total of 106,180 bulbs and 9 large displays which takes our team of four a total of six weeks to set up, decorate and complete. There are also a few new features that we are excited for everyone to see,” shared Parks Foreman Shaun Knowles.
This free event will also feature a dance show performed by Dancer’s Edge, free hot chocolate donated by Tim Hortons, and fire pits to keep viewers warm. Town Staff will also be accepting cash donations on behalf of the Blackfalds Food Bank and Beyond Food Community Hub and Blackfalds FCSS’ Christmas Bureau Program.
Light Up Blackfalds! will start with Dancer’s Edge entertainment at 5:00pm, followed by speeches from dignitaries, and the countdown will begin at 5:30pm.
Mayor Laura Svab expressed her excitement for the event and hopes to see everyone out to experience the night.
“With the holiday season fast approaching, Light Up Blackfalds! is the perfect way to bring our community together to celebrate the joy of the season. Whether it is a family tradition or your first time joining us, we invite everyone to share in the magic and excitement of this special event,” Svab added.
