Airdrie Christmas FAQ
The Airdrie Festival of Lights and the Santa Claus Parade are the city’s largest annual holiday events, drawing crowds for light displays, parades, and community celebrations.
Airdrie’s Festival of Lights is a beloved local tradition, featuring a massive outdoor walk-through display. The city also hosts a Santa Claus Parade and community markets that highlight local makers and festive activities.
Nose Creek Park is the centerpiece for holiday lights, but many residential areas throughout Airdrie also decorate enthusiastically—exploring by car or on foot can reveal hidden gems.
The Airdrie Christmas Crawl at the Town & Country Centre and Ecole Edwards School is a top spot for local vendors. Smaller craft fairs and artisan markets also pop up at community centers and schools during the season.
The Airdrie Festival of Lights and neighborhood light displays are free to enjoy. Many holiday markets, including the Christmas Crawl, are also free to attend, with optional donations to local causes.
Families will enjoy the Festival of Lights, visits with Santa at the Christmas Crawl, and the Santa Claus Parade. These events offer games, treats, and plenty of photo opportunities for kids of all ages.
