Eston gearing up for festive fundraisers and community events
ESTON – The Eston Recreation Board is inviting families and friends to support local youth and celebrate the holiday season with two upcoming events.
The board recently launched the Eston Kids Can Play Policy, aimed at helping children participate in sports and recreation. The fund is designed for families who don’t meet KidSport criteria but still need financial assistance. More information, including how to apply, is available on the Town of Eston website at eston.ca.

To kick off fundraising, a Boozy Bingo is set for Friday, Dec. 5, at 7 p.m. in the Emerge Ag Solutions Mezzanine. Attendees can enjoy an evening of bingo, beverages, and prizes, with proceeds supporting the Eston Kids Can Play program.
The festive season continues with Moonlight Madness and the Christmas Light Parade on Thursday, Dec. 11. Main Street will be open from 5 to 9 p.m., with the parade starting at 7 p.m. Shoppers can browse stores open late, visit vendors at the old pharmacy building at 202 Main, and enjoy treats and seasonal entertainment.
The parade route begins at the AGT Community Centre and travels past Heritage Manor, Main Street, Jubilee Lodge, Kay Lane, and the Museum before returning to Main Street. Businesses or individuals interested in participating in the parade or late-night shopping can contact organizers at 306-430-8710 or ecdev@eston.ca.
Both events promise opportunities for community members to connect, celebrate, and support local youth programs.
