What would a huge artificial tree cost? An upfront capital investment could solve this issue for years to come, save a few real trees, and be more consistent in appearance.
I went for a quick tour. They closed off a small section of 100a Street from rice Howard way to 102 Ave.Looks like a success so far. I couldn't go, but just wondering if any of you made it down.
Downtown Business Association optimistic after launch of new-look holiday light up event
The head of the Downtown Business Association said she was optimistic after seeing the Downtown Holiday Light Up on Rice Howard Way.edmontonjournal.com
I agree, I was there last night too and thought all of Rice Howard Way shoudl've been closed off to vehicles and more engaging activities planned. Standing around a burning barrel looking at the odd lit-up rat (that was an actual art piece) isn't my idea of a fun winter festival.I went for a quick tour.

Attendance seemed decent. Long lines for the free stuff.
Activities and engagement slightly lacking for me. Although the art in the alley beside craft was cool to see people enjoying. Enbridge Centre really stepped up to allow music and markets and food into their lobbies and tenant spaces. City Centre and a few other businesses around RHW also stepped up.
Overall the layout and continuity should have been planned better. Felt a little disjointed especially by the empty regency site. I would have focused the festival along rice Howard way from 100 Street to 101 Street, closing all vehicle access. I thought the 124 Street light up festival where two city blocks along 124 street were closed to vehicles was better.
