Let’s bring the magic of the holidays

to every corner of our community!

The Hometown Holiday Campaign invites local businesses to deck out their storefronts with festive lights, window paintings, and cheerful holiday décor — from twinkling displays to blow-up Santas.

This community-driven initiative, in partnership with the Okotoks & District Chamber of Commerce and the Town of Okotoks, aims

to spread the spirit of Light Up Okotoks throughout the

entire holiday season. Together, let’s create our own version of

Stars Hollow — a warm, whimsical, small-town celebration

that makes everyone feel at home for the holidays.

Looking for more information on this initiative,

reach out to us in the Chamber Office TODAY!!

Light Up Okotoks is only 3 weeks away!!
