Olds Fashioned Christmas is a series of community, cultural and recreational events that came into being in 1993. It was started by the Tourism Action Committee as a way to promote a lifestyle of family in community and to attract visitors. Olds Fashioned Christmas was built on the strengths of existing community events, and today we celebrate "Olds Fashioned Hospitality" all year long.

Lots of Christmas Carolling during Olds Fashioned ChristmasOlds Fashioned Christmas starts the first Sunday in November with the potpourri and craft sales. The Potpourri Sale at Olds College brings people from far and wide. People take the day to visit our community, go to all the craft sales, enjoy some home baking with their tea and coffee and begin their Christmas shopping in a warm and friendly environment. There is a free matinee for the children at the Olds theatre. There is also the Legion Christmas Party and Breakfast with Santa.

On the last Saturday in November the community hosts the Light Up Festival at Centennial Park. It features hayrides and games, free hot dogs and hot chocolate, and a visit from Santa Claus. The Santa Claus Parade of Lights is hosted by the Olds Agricultural Society. Mrs. Santa is at the Olds Fashioned Christmas Office to greet visitors Wednesday afternoons beginning mid-November. You can also contact the Olds Fashioned Christmas office on Wednesdays in November and December, by calling the Olds Town Office at 403-556-6981.

Take the opportunity to visit our community and enjoy "Olds Fashioned Hospitality" and take in some of the events that take place during November and December. There are events happening throughout these months that are sure to be of interest to all members of your family.

The Town of Olds provides a home for the administrative support to the Olds Fashioned Christmas Coordinating Team. For full information on Olds Fashioned Christmas, please visit the OFC page on the Town's website at www.olds.ca/ofc.html.
