- Edmonton’s Candy Cane Lane is visited by hundreds of thousands of visitors every Christmas season and it has become traditional for Edmontonians to flock to this West End Christmas Light and Decoration display every year. The sights and sounds of Candy Cane Lane instill the spirit of Christmas in all of us. The colorful light displays and unique decorations bring out the magic of the season for young and old alike. Christmas in Edmonton is not complete without a walk down Candy Cane Lane.
WHO WHAT WHERE WHY HOW
Who: As an event run by volunteers and residents there's a special kind of magic that brings YEG Candy Cane Lane to life year after year. YEG Candy Cane Lane has been part of Edmonton's must-see events of the holiday season since 1968.
What: Nestled within the canopied trees of the Crestwood community lies the wholly committed neighborhood that decorates the exterior of their homes for in celebration of the holiday season. Curb appeal at its best, especially if you're Santa...
Where: The area around 95th Avenue saw the initiation of the informal festival of lights in the sixties, and as the years progressed, YEG Candy Cane Lane soon spread north and south along 148th Street. YEG Candy Cane Lane is currently situated on 148 Street between 99 Avenue to 92 Avenue. Though during the holiday season, the over-the-top decorations and sparkling lights act as a Christmas beacon, and the Lane is instantly recognizable.
When: YEG Candy Cane Lane first came to the attention of Edmontonians in the late 1960s, with a small group of families who, without fail, decorated their cozy post-war bungalows with a myriad of holiday decorations. During this era, hand painted wood decorations were all the rage, and many suggest it's what brought YEG Candy Cane Lane to its prominence. YEG Candy Cane Lane officially opens December 11th and runs from sunset to midnight until January 1st.
Why: Beyond the fantastical decorations and a heaping dose of holiday spirit, YEG Candy Cane Lane serves as an example of dedication, fortitude, and imagination. In addition to being the second largest contributor to the Edmonton Food Bank, YEG Candy Cane Lane also serves as the unofficial icon for togetherness. The whole neighborhood faithfully participates, despite differing creed or age. What's more, the value in YEG Candy Cane Lane is so deeply entrenched in the neighborhood, that many families leave their decorations when they move to ensure the continuity of the Lane.
How: At its core, YEG Candy Cane Lane is made possible by the incredible power of residents and volunteers who selflessly arrange the unending details. When it comes to orchestrating one of Edmonton's highlights of the holiday season, the overwhelming response and support of local businesses and volunteers, both local and remote, underscores the civic value placed on YEG Candy Cane Lane. It not only serves as a source of pure joy for all who pass by, but also a welcomed oasis for the less fortunate and those with health challenges, including children being treated at the Stollery Children's Hospital, patients from the Cross Cancer Institute, and countless other retirement homes and extended care facilities.
