Christmas parades, tree lightings and light shows in Langley

Langley’s Christmas season has one parade, two tree lightings with set dates (and Fort Langley’s, still to be announced), two big ticketed light shows and one free drive-through. Here’s each one, in the order they happen.

Coming up

Pulled from our events calendar, so it fills in as organisers announce dates.

The parade: Aldergrove Christmas Light Up Parade

Langley’s Christmas parade is in Aldergrove, run by the Aldergrove Agricultural Fair & Festival Association. 2026 is its 29th year.

• When: Saturday, December 12, 6 to 7:15 pm, through downtown Aldergrove.
• Before it: a free community gathering from 3 to 6 pm at 270 Street and Fraser Highway, with food, hot drinks, entertainment and an expected visit from Santa.
• Getting there: roads close for the parade. The association’s Christmas page links a road-closure map; look at it before you drive in, and plan to park a few blocks out and walk.
• Want to be in it? Parade entries are due Monday, December 7, through the same page. Questions go to [email protected].

Tree lightings

Aldergrove, Sunday, November 22. The season starts in Aldergrove: 4 to 7 pm at 270 Street and Fraser Highway, the same corner as the parade gathering.

Langley City, Friday, November 27. The 36-foot tree at Langley Christmas Village on Fraser Highway gets lit on the village’s second night. Entry to the village is free. Douglas Crescent parking is free after 5 pm, and the village runs a shuttle from Kwantlen Polytechnic University. The Christmas markets page has village hours.

Fort Langley. The village tree beside Fort Langley Community Hall is lit every year. The 2026 date hasn’t been published yet; we’ll add it to the calendar as soon as it is.

The light shows

Glow (Christmas Treasures). Glow is back at 6690 216 Street from November 19 to January 2, with an underwater “Christmas Treasures” theme, a new three-storey walk-through called the Crystal Palace, an artisan market, live entertainment and food. Tourism Langley’s listing gives hours of 5 to 10 pm. Tickets are sold online by Glow Gardens; see their site for prices and closed days.

Merry & Bright at Martini Town. A working film set in south Aldergrove (1123 272 Street) that’s usually closed to the public, dressed up as a Christmas town with movie-style snowfall, a 30-foot tree made of stacked presents, about 20 market vendors and Santa until December 23. Hours are 3 to 10 pm on open days:

• November 20 to 29: Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays
• December 2 to 13: Wednesdays to Sundays
• December 16 to 31: every day except Christmas Day

Tickets are timed and online only, so buy them before you go.

Holiday Lights in Williams Park (free). The Township’s drive-through display in Williams Park is the free one. The Township says it returns in 2026, but it hasn’t posted dates yet. In past years you’ve needed to register a free time slot online, so watch the Township’s page.

Neighbourhood lights

Plenty of the best displays are on people’s own houses. Our Christmas lights map goes up later in November, and readers can add houses to it.

More Christmas: Christmas in Langley, Christmas markets and where to see Santa. Road closures for the parade will also be on our road closures page.
