Museum gearing up for seventh annual holiday light display

By Kate Winquist

The Kindersley and District Plains Museum is preparing to once again light up the season with its annual Museum of Lights celebration this December.

Now in its seventh year, the popular holiday tradition features dazzling light displays and both drive-thru and walk-thru evenings each weekend leading up to Christmas. The event draws visitors from across the region to enjoy a festive atmosphere that blends community spirit with twinkling displays and family fun.

Past walk-thru nights have included indoor festivities such as hot chocolate, snacks, live music and trade shows, along with outdoor activities like sleigh rides and a toboggan hill.

The event was launched in 2019 as a fundraiser to help offset the museum’s growing operating costs. It has since become a much-anticipated community celebration that welcomes people of all ages and backgrounds.

Organizers hope to keep the event accessible to everyone by accepting donations in lieu of admission fees, and are now seeking sponsors to help make that possible.

“We strive to create an environment that everyone can enjoy, regardless of their economic situation,” said museum board secretary Anna Polsfut.
