Big White's Christmas Eve Festival

Celebrate the magic of Christmas Eve at our festive festival, packed with fun activities and delights for all ages.

Kick off the evening at 4:30pm in the Village, where you can bundle up in your coziest jackets, toques, and mittens, and stroll through our charming Christmas booths. Gather your friends and family and get ready to join The Loose Moose’s dance party, where you can dance the night away with our very own Loose Moose!

We will also be taking cash donations toward the Central Okanagan Food Bank at all of our food booths. A QR code to donate online will also be available.
