Alberta's Spectacular Candle-Lit Garden Trail Is Back For The Whole Month Of December
Alberta tends to get thrust into the holiday spirit earlier than the rest of the country because our snowy season just can't wait to start. So, if you're anything like us, you've probably been searching for enchanting Christmas events in Edmonton to put some of that spirit into action.
Luckily, The University of Alberta Botanic Garden hosts an awe-inspiring candle-lit garden walk each year called Luminaria.
You can explore the stunning Japanese garden under the stars with twinkling lights and the dancing flames of thousands of candles all around you. You really don't know tranquillity until you take a stroll through a botanical garden at night by candlelight.

The event runs every night from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. with the exception of December 25.
Tickets are $20 for adults and they sell out every single year, so be sure to scoop yours up if you know you want to attend.
There are staggered entry times so you can totally avoid crowds and have the serene walk of your dreams.
This year there is also a special dining experience if you want to elevate your evening.
