I went to the Santa Claus Celebration of Lights event in Banff, Canada. Christmas lighting ceremony
hello.
Calgary is holding a Christmas decoration lighting event starting on November 17th.
I’m not particularly interested in Christmas, but this year, by chance, I’m looking for a lighting event. Hehe, this is it!
An article about the Banff lighting event can be found here.
Since it’s a lighting event, I don’t think there’s any need to go early, so I’ll leave home at my leisure.
When going to Banff, use route 1A. The cute scenery is much prettier than National Highway 1.

Canadian sky! Canadian clouds!
It’s always art.

Ugh. There are a lot of people in Banff.
They set up a stage and have a comical conversation.
In front of it is a bustling crowd^^

They sit freely all over the road.
But, how come!!! It’s a lot quieter than the Okotoks lighting ceremony I went to yesterday.
This wasn’t the atmosphere I wanted. ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

We make and sell maple candy on the spot.
hmm!! It’s expensive. $5.25 each

I looked closely at how it was made^^
Maple syrup is boiled and hardens and sticks to the ice. Simple!!

The Banff Bear in front of the chocolate shop was also decorated for Christmas.

There is also an angel sister.
Since this isn’t Hollywood, Angel takes pictures and doesn’t ask for tips. lol
She was not a sheep dressed as an angel, but a real angel.^^

They block the roads and hold events here and there.
But it’s really quiet. Ugh ㅠㅠㅠ

The fairy sisters and brothers are also not sheep.
How kind. I took all the pictures and posed for them.
He is truly the king of kindness.

More lights were put on the stage, but
A common tree with no light bulbs
Where has the beautiful Banff that used to sparkle gone?

Ah!! I’m so disappointed.
Let’s take a quick trip to Banff Town.
Canada Goose is now in the former Louis Vuitton space.
The landlord seems to feel that a brand that is not a luxury product but is a luxury product must be introduced. lol
