In December, King George V Park transforms into a winter wonderland. The Winter Lights display plays a large role in Canora's annual "Winter Lights Festival". This is a week-long event that allows residents to embrace and celebrate winter in Saskatchewan. The festival has become a highly-anticipated event in Canora featuring events such as a family skate with Santa, family movie night, youth events, a children's carnival, an evening parade followed by a community bonfire and fireworks display, as well as numerous dinners hosted by local community groups and organizations. The event is fueled by community spirit and centers around the decorations that light up Main Street and King George Park.
