All is Bright is the marquee event for the 124 Street Businesses Association. It’s also seen as the kickoff to the winter and holiday festival season.
“We are one of the first festivals that comes out in the winter,” said Luyam Kiflemariam, executive director of the 124 Street Business Association.
“It’s really welcoming back the winter — and not only winter — but coming back after taking a year off.”
The 124 Street area will come alive with light shows, street performers and live music on Saturday from 4 p.m. until 8 p.m.
“I know the small businesses on 124 Street are excited to have people back walking around.”
Many of the businesses in the area will also stay open later.
At the Edmonton Expo Centre, another popular event is getting ready to welcome people back.
