The Enchanted Festival is back at Spruce Meadows for 12 nights, Dec. 12 to 23, from 5 to 9 p.m. Each evening. Admission is $18 general and $10 for children and seniors, with early-bird pricing until Dec. 11. Tickets are sold at sprucemeadows.com/enchanted.

The walk-through display builds on a Christmas lights tradition at the grounds that goes back nearly 30 years. This year it adds a 75-foot illuminated light tunnel alongside millions of lights along the outdoor pathways. Real reindeer are on site every night, and reindeer photos are available for purchase, with a mini-animal petting zoo alongside them. Inside the Equi-Plex, visitors will find light displays, holiday vendors and an ATCO Energy Re-Energize Zone to warm up. Santa visits daily in the Upper Plaza, also powered by ATCO Energy.

Biggies Roller Rink returns to the Riding Hall after its appearance at Barbie x Spruce Meadows in June, with skating included in admission. Other stops include the Wishing Tree Forest in Horizons Pavilion, holiday movies in Founders Plaza, and the WINS Toy Drive, where visitors can donate a new, unwrapped gift for local youth in need.
