Winter Lights Festival
Enjoy the quiet of a dark winter night – the crunch of your feet in the snow and colourful Christmas lights winking between bare branches.
Winter’s not the typical time to take in a garden walk, but Nikka Yuko’s Winter Lights Festival stands tradition on its head. The garden, designed by landscape architects from Osaka, Japan, is breathtaking year-round – especially with the hours volunteers work to decorate with lights. Add in a hot drink and Lethbridge’s chilly winter nights get a lot warmer, brighter – and cozier!
