Food trucks, marshmallows over an open fire, and even Santa Claus are all in store for Vernon 25th annual 'Light Up' this Saturday in Downtown Vernon. 

"This is Vernon’s kick-off to the winter," explains events and promotions coordinator, Dudley Coulter. "It’s a great way to fend off the cold and come together as a community while enjoying downtown’s unique character."

The event, which runs from 5-8 pm, will welcome over 50 vendors with activities, food, entertainment and more.
 
This year, each block has one main attraction with other vendors and booths in between:
 

• 2900 Block: Colouring Contest 
• 3000 Block: Plasma Cars 
• 3100 Block: Visits with Santa 
• 3200 Block: Bonfire and marshmallow roast by Santa’s Anonymous
• 3300 Block: Food Truck Alley 
• 3400 Block: Ornament Decorating 

There will also be plenty of lights and sounds. 

Vernon’s official Legacy Tree will light up at 5:00 pm at the corner of 30th Avenue and 35th Street.
