A Little Christmas Magic and the Downtown Light Up
Christmas activities run at spots around Armstrong from 10 am to 4 pm. The Downtown Light Up follows at 4:30 pm, when Santa lights the community tree. It is free.
There is no Light Up parade this year. Construction downtown moved the plans to daytime activities and shopping. Shops may stay open late, but they do not have to. The Armstrong Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce runs the day and posts the activity list as each part is confirmed.
Usually December 23, 5 pm
Christmas tractor parade
Local farmers cover their tractors and trucks in Christmas lights and drive them through Armstrong and on to Enderby. The parade usually runs on December 23 and leaves the IPE fairgrounds at 5 pm. The organizers share the date and route on Facebook a few days before. We will post the 2026 date here when they do.
No candy is thrown or handed out. Stay well back from the road. Drivers cannot see well in the dark, and the tractors move faster than a walking parade.
