White Rock is about to get a lot brighter.
This year's Bright Walk in White Rock, a festive community light-up event, is set for Saturday Dec. 7, from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Memorial Park along the waterfront.
Now in its fourth year, the free, family-friendly event will kick off a month-long winter light display with more than 50,000 twinkling lights.
The event’s main stage will feature live performances from the Whoville Choir joined by a mischievous Grinch, a whimsical performance by the Snow Sisters, and a Michael Bublé Christmas tribute, a city release noted.
There will also be food carts along the promenade and a Christmas Market at the White Rock Museum and Archives, where more than 30 local vendors will sell hand-crafted items, making it easy to find unique holiday gifts.
The most famous elf of all, Santa Claus, is even taking a break from preparations at the North Pole to be available for free photos.
White Rock Mayor Megan Knight will lead the lighting countdown for the 20-foot Christmas tree at 5 p.m.
“Bright Walk in White Rock has quickly become a cherished tradition, bringing joy and togetherness to our community during the holiday season,” she said in the release.
“It’s wonderful to see residents and visitors alike gather here to celebrate and enjoy the festive lights, local talent, and holiday spirit along our beautiful waterfront.”
Everyone is invited to bring donations for Sources Food Bank, which will be on-site.
Bright Walk in White Rock lights up from dusk to dawn on weekdays and all day weekends and holidays Dec. 7 through Jan. 12, 2025
