Warkentin noted that the show has had success in many markets across the country, such as Calgary, Edmonton, Halifax and more.

He said, “It is exciting that we have the opportunity now to bring this type of show to Lethbridge. This is exactly what we wanted to bring when we started to build the Agri-food Hub and Trade Centre. It gives us an opportunity to showcase different traveling events that the city in the past hasn’t had a venue to host.”

Along with the light show, visitors will be able to take pictures with Santa, play on the playground, enjoy holiday themed food and drink, and even listen to live music.

Warkentin said, “Ticket sales have exceeded where we expected them to be ahead of opening night. We are exceptionally excited about the response we’ve received from the community.”

He added, “Everywhere I go people are talking about Glow and that’s exactly what we want. We want to see people get excited about using this space [Agri-food Hub and Trade Centre] as a community, but also about the type of events that we can bring in.”

The show is open from 4:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m. on Thursdays through Saturdays and from 12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Sundays. The exhibition runs until December 31.
