Shuttle Service
Light Up brings thousands of residents and visitors into the downtown core! Parking is very limited so we encourage event goers to use the free shuttle service sponsored by Southland Transportation, which will run continuously from both The Okotoks Recreation Centre and the Viking Rental Centre (previously Foothills Centennial Centre - #4, 204 Community Way) to the event zone. Shuttle service will run from 5:00 to 10:20 p.m.
Wristband Stations
A child ID wristband can help us reunite a lost child with their guardian in minutes! Look for the Safety Band Stations throughout the event zone where you can write your contact information on a red wristband and put it on your child. Stations will be located at each end of the event zone, at the ALC Plaza and the Okotoks Command Trailer (located beside the Municipal Centre).
Charitable Giving Opportunities
Help the RCMP fill their police cruiser with donations and non-perishable food items for the Okotoks Food Bank this holiday season! Watch for the cruiser parked along the corner of Veterans Way and McRae Street. There will be donation bins located at the wristband stations as well. Additionally, the Christmas Charity Truck will be on site, collecting funds and toys in support of local children's charities and will be located beside the Landmark Site (OKOTOKS letters).
