We’re heading to the show
The Northern Spirit Light Show is an annual holiday event hosted by the Peace Draft Horse Club at Evergreen Park in Grande Prairie. It features a drive-thru experience with over 220 light displays created by local businesses, families, and community groups. The 2025 edition began on November 13 and will run through December 31, with hours from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM for vehicles and 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM for wagon rides.
The show operates on Thursdays through Sundays until December 7, after which it runs nightly until New Year’s Eve, except on Christmas Day. The event supports local charities, with over $600,000 raised since its inception. Food bank donations are accepted, and visitors can enjoy hot chocolate and treats.
The show is located on the west side of the Wild Horse Casino & Lounge parking lot.
