A full list during Medicine Hat's most festive months.
Christmas Lights:
Twinkle Tours
Medicine Hat residents bring their best when it comes to decorating their homes during the Holiday season. Prairie Sprinter offers tours on the north and south sides of the city, as well as private bookings. Stay on the lookout for curated twinkle tour itineraries, as many local community members will piece together a list.
Park Meadows
Festive lights will again bring colour to Park Meadows in December. The community is welcome to visit and explore with hopes they’ll make a donation that will go towards both the Root Cellar Food and Wellness Hub and the upgrades and upkeep of the annual light display. Lights are turned on from 5-10p.m. each evening.
Towne Square
Take a stroll underneath the canopy at Towne Square, located at 603 1 St. SE, and experience almost all the colours of the rainbow. This tunnel of vibrancy is the perfect spot to soak in the Holiday spirit.
Medicine Hat’s Historic Downtown
Festive-shaped lights, like trees and stars, are installed around downtown Medicine Hat, and they light up as the sun sets. There is a large Pine Tree in BATUS Park that shines blue in the evening as well, with a bright, silver star on the top.
