Platzl Light Up set for Nov. 13 evening

There’s something magical about Kimberley during the holiday season!

The twinkling lights, familiar faces, Christmas carols filling the Platzl, and the excitement of little ones waiting for Santa. It’s one of those evenings that reminds us just how special our community really is.

Join the Kimberley & District Chamber of Commerce as we kick off the holiday season with one of Kimberley’s favourite traditions, the Platzl Light Up!

Friday, November 13 from 5 – 8 p.m. in Kimberley’s Platzl.

Here’s a little of the magic waiting for you!

5–5:30 p.m.: Enjoy Christmas carols performed by our choir;

5:40 p.m.: Santa makes his grand arrival.

6 p.m.: Gather around as Santa and the Mayor lead the official countdown to light up the Platzl.

After the countdown: Santa heads to the Platzl Cuckcoo clock for family photos! $10 for photos – with 50% donations to the Kimberley Food Bank.

And there’s more festive fun to enjoy!

Say hello to the Grinch;

Visit with our very own Happy Hans;

Warm up with delicious hot chocolate.

Explore our wonderful downtown shops and grab a bite to eat while you’re here!

Bundle up, bring your family and friends, and come celebrate the beginning of the holiday season with us.

Because the best part of Christmas in Kimberley isn’t just the lights. It’s the community that gathers beneath them.

We can’t wait to see the Platzl shine!
