Cochrane, Alberta – The Town of Cochrane invites residents to kick off the holiday season at this year’s Cochrane Light Up on Saturday, November 29, from 4:30–7:30 p.m. Celebrate the magic of the season as Historic Downtown and The Station at Cochrane Crossing are transformed with twinkling lights, festive activities and community spirit.

- Family-friendly activities: From hayrides to holiday ornament–decorating and craft stations inside The Station, there’s something for everyone.
