The Colwood Christmas Light Up is one of those special community events that captures the true spirit of the Christmas season and leaves people smiling. Friends and neighbours get to visit and reconnect while children from our local school choirs spread cheer with their musical performances.
Join us Wednesday, December 3rd from 6:00 -7:30 pm at Colwood City Hall, 3300 Wishart Road.
Free family fun
It’s an event you may want mittens for, but you can leave your wallet at home, because hot chocolate, hot dogs and treats are all provided by generous Colwood businesses. Bitez Sandwich Bar supplies the best hot chocolate you ever tasted, (complete with marshmallows!). Red Barn Market at Latoria Walk donates hot dogs that Colwood councillors and staff grill to perfection. And Royal Bay Bakery provides their mouthwatering mini apple fritters.
Kids love this event! Volunteers from West Shore Parks & Recreation will help the kids do crafts and make Christmas swags that they can hang at home or give as a gift to a friend or family member. And all the kids look forward to the big moment when Santa arrives on the fire truck. It’s part of the magic of Christmas that kids look forward to.
The spirit of giving - with a dash of competition
This year, we hope community members will consider bringing a donation for the Goldstream Food Bank or the Christmas Backpack Project, which provides much needed supplies for people who have no home to go to this Christmas. People can place their donations under the Christmas tree they like best to ‘vote’ in our little competition between the Colwood City Hall team, the Colwood Fire Hall team and the Colwood Public Works team.
Join the community celebration Wednesday, December 3rd from 6pm to 7:30pm when City Hall officially lights up for the Christmas season!
Donations gratefully accepted for the Christmas Backpack Project and the Goldstream Food Bank.
