Next Wednesday, November 23rd, the Christmas lights on Stephen Avenue will shine for all to see and enjoy this holiday season! To mark this merry and bright occasion, Downtown Calgary and KiSS 95.9 invite you to celebrate the season with A Taste of Christmas Under the Lights from 4pm – 6pm.

It’s the perfect time to gather with friends, family or co-workers to celebrate under the lights and enjoy tasty specials offered by many of Downtown’s finest restaurants and favourite hot spots.

  • Enjoy delicious specials offered by participating restaurants on Wednesday evening only (4pm – 6pm). Check out tasty offers below.
  • Santa’s helpful elves will be out on Stephen Avenue, along with caroling from Fresh Blend A Capella and Holiday Harmony to spread some Christmas Cheer!
  • Be sure to check out our life-size ice sculpture located in front of SportChek (100 West block). It’s a great place for that perfect Christmas snapshot!
  • KiSS 95.9 team will be on location with KiSS Music Download cards*, perfect for that Christmas stocking (*while quantities last).

Snap and share your pictures of our downtown celebration under the lights on November 23rd, and be sure to use #IAMDOWNTOWN to be eligible to win a downtown shopping experience (value of $100).
