We have hung the lights with care, the choirs are practicing their carols and we are perfecting our hot chocolate recipe as we get set to launch the festive season in the City of West Kelowna.

The free fun for all ages starts this Sunday, December 1 with the always-popular Skate with Santa and continues Friday, December 6 with the highly anticipated City Centre Light Up.
