Get ready to make the start of your holiday season merry and bright with the 20th annual Christmas Festival of Lights in Gibsons, sponsored by Tim Hortons and Wendy’s.
This year, students from Gibsons Elementary School will help ring in the start of the Christmas season at the opening ceremonies for the annual community event, which takes place this Sunday, Nov. 29 from 5:30 to 6 p.m. The school’s primary choir, made up of grades 2 and 3 students, will help everyone get in the seasonal spirit as they perform songs on the theme of this year’s festival, Winter Wonderland.
The public is welcome to attend.
Lights for the festival will go on at 6 p.m. sharp.
Sponsors of this year’s festival are putting a special sparkle in Gibsons Elementary School’s playground project.
This year, funds from the annual Christmas fundraiser will go towards completing a disabled-accessible playground at the school.
There’s still time to help out by sponsoring a tree, donating to the playground fund or coming out for the kids who will take part in the opening ceremonies on Sunday. Members of the school’s parent advisory council will also be on hand, offering special window snowflakes for sale.
For more information on sponsoring a tree or taking part, please contact Kim McEachren, chair of the Gibsons Elementary School’s parent advisory council, at 604-741-3503 or [email protected].
