Rekindle Rossland

Find Your Spark

Experience the magic of the holiday season at Rekindle, Rossland’s much-loved community celebration that fills downtown with festive cheer, twinkling lights and small-town charm. Spend the day exploring the artisan market at the Miners Hall, special savings & activities at local shops, Rossland Light Opera Players carolling, family-friendly activities at the Rossland Museum & Discovery Centre, and the main event – the lighting of the tree in Harry Lafevre Square! Don’t miss the parade with Santa, or meeting the man himself with by donation family portraits available at The Prestige Resort from 11:30am-2:30pm provided by Katrina Cox Photography.

holiday magic + small town charm = the perfect way to spend the day!

Santa’s First Stop – ROSSLAND!

Parade, Pictures & Pure Magic

Santa is coming to town! Rekindle kicks off with a festive Santa parade, as the big guy himself rolls in in style on the local firetruck, as his sleigh is getting ready for the big day. Follow the excitement and meet Santa behind the Rossland Fine Wine & Spirits store, where treats await and you might even get to pet his trusty reindeer donkey (if he makes an appearance). Then stroll down the block to The Prestige for a free family portrait with Santa (by donation), with four-legged family members welcome, too (no not a reindeer but your dogs)! And, of course, if you’ve been good this year, don’t forget to share your Christmas wish list with the man himself before you say “cheese.”

City Streets Never Looked So Good

Markets & Local Shops

The fun begins with the incrEDIBLE Rossland Farmers’ Market on Dec 4th, where you can browse local goods, discover tasty treats and connect with the locals. On Saturday, Dec 5th head to the Rossland Winter Artisan Market, hosted by the Rossland Arts Council Society at the Miners’ Hall from 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., to explore handmade creations and meet talented local craftspeople.
