Celebrating 40 years
Cochrane Light Up has been a beloved family tradition and a special way for businesses to connect with the community. In partnership with local businesses, Cochrane encourages attendees to reduce waste by bringing reusable cups or purchasing one from vendors for their hot chocolate. We’re also joining forces with local food banks to share the holiday spirit. Drop off non-perishable food items at designated locations.
Event Highlights
- Opening Ceremony at 4:30 p.m. with Mayor Jeff Genung at the Downtown Cochrane gazebo.
- Come visit Council at The Station, grab a glow stick, enjoy a warm cup of hot chocolate, and explore some fun kid-friendly activities inside!
- Fireworks at 7:15 p.m.
- Bring a reusable cup for your hot chocolate and help reduce waste!
- Bring canned donations for the Cochrane Food Bank.
