Celebrating 41 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.
