This year, Downtown Kelowna organizers are introducing a new addition to the event - a Winter Street Market on Water St. beside the ice rink.

You’ll be able to get some shopping in at the curated artisan booths while enjoying the street food and treats, or sipping some hot chocolate by a cozy fire.

And of course, the night will be finished off by lighting up the spectacular giant tree.
