Kitimat’s annual Light Up Kitimat celebration returns on Sunday, December 7, bringing the community together to officially kick off the holiday season. Held at the Upper City Centre Mall—both indoors and outdoors—the event runs from 3:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. and features a full afternoon of festive activities for all ages.
The celebration begins early with photos with Santa from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m., followed by indoor and outdoor vendors opening at 3:00. At 4:00 p.m., Santa makes a special entrance riding aboard a Kitimat Fire Department truck. One of the most anticipated moments of the event, the community tree light-up, happens at 4:15 p.m.
Visitors can enjoy live caroling, a craft fair, and the annual school Christmas tree contest, which showcases creative displays from local students. The atmosphere is designed to bring friends, families, and neighbours together to share in the warmth and joy of the season.
Light Up Kitimat is hosted by the Kitimat Chamber of Commerce in partnership with the District of Kitimat and City Centre Mall. More event details—including vendor information—are available through the Kitimat Chamber of Commerce.
