***UPDATE***
IT IS NOW A VIRTUAL EVENT - More details coming soon

In 2020, instead of heading down First Avenue, citizens will drive along the Mission Raceway Park, and view stationary Christmas displays set up along the track.

The event will be two nights this year since it is time-slotted. Maximum of 50 cars are allowed for each 30 minute slot. Therefore, you MUST purchase a ticket beforehand. Tickets will NOT be available on site.

“The focus of the event remains the same,” said a news release from the Mission Regional Chamber of Commerce. “To bring Christmas spirit and cheer to the community and of course, this includes an appearance by Santa himself.”

To help mitigate the costs, there will be a nominal fee of $10 per carload for the event. Partial proceeds will go to the Christmas Bureau, St. Joseph’s Food Bank, and the Chamber’s annual student bursary.

TICKET SALES ARE NOW CLOSED
OVER 100 tickets will also be given away through promotional contests and local charities to help ensure no one is excluded from the opportunity.

Pay-It-Forward tickets will also be available for sale for those who want to “give” a little more this season.

GENERAL ADMISSION TICKETS SOLD-OUT

Tickets: $10 per carload.

For example you can have 2 or 8 people in the car and it will still be $10.  Remember, # of seat belts = # of people you can legally have in your vehicle. RCMP will be onsite.

'STATIONARY FLOAT/DISPLAY ZONE' REGISTRATIONS

OPEN TILL ALL SPOTS ARE FILLED

If you typically register a float, this is what you are looking for. This year, the floats will be stationary and called 'display zones' or 'stationary floats.' Each display zone area is a rectangular area of 10 feet deep and 20 feet wide. If you need more space, let us know.

There are new regulations and rules this year to ensure we are following health guidelines. Please note that humans are not allowed to be a part of the float and the floats will be parked (if they are set-up on a vehicle) or you can create a display on the ground. You will have to set-up your display on Thursday, December 3rd and come back for take-down Saturday night (after the event) or Monday morning.

Applications are now open and will be accepted on a rolling basis so get yours in fast!
