A magical, Dr. Suess-inspired wonderland will transform Harrison Hot Springs with festive cheer this holiday season.
From a Whoville-themed Village to a Cabin-style New Year’s celebration, the area will offer guests with unique holiday charm. What’s more, Lights on the Lake is a Sasquatch-themed festival.
The hot springs resort will feature light displays with the legendary, mythical creature hiking, biking, paddling, skiing, fishing, camping, windsurfing and wishing visitors a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Lights on the Lake
Guests may stroll along a Christmas light display down the waterfront of Harrison Hot Springs. Along the way, guests may spot everything from tall, sparkling candy canes to the seasonal Sasquatches. In addition, the attraction is free!

- a few other surprises.
Christmas Tree Trail
The Christmas Tree Trail starts at the Harrison Visitor Information Centre and Sasquatch Museum and takes you through the Village of Harrison Hot Springs.
Once inside the village, you’ll be able to enjoy a variety of seasonal foods and beverages, as well as shop at the local vendors.
Harrison’s full Christmas event list includes:
- Lights on the Lake (November 24th – January 28th)
