The 27th annual Christmas tree lighting in downtown Abbotsford attracted a jubilant crowd on Friday evening.
The Winter Jubilee event spanned Montrose and Essendene avenues in the old downtown core.
It included live entertainment, craft beer gardens, interactive children’s games and activities, marketplaces, carollers, food trucks, a family photo booth, and Santa and Mrs. Claus.
The tree lighting itself took place at 6 p.m. Fireworks followed the tree lighting and delighted those attending.
Several of the downtown merchants and restaurants were open late throughout the event.
