Candy Cane Lane, which is located in the Crestwood neighborhood of Edmonton, is an informal name for a residential street in the city. Every Christmas, it hosts a festive custom that has become an annual tradition. On the streets, residents and volunteers adorn the front and back yards of their homes with flowers.

The illumination provides a cheerful, brightly lit ambiance, bringing hundreds of thousands of tourists from all around the city and the surrounding area each year. Bonfires, warming shelters, and sleigh rides are also available at this site. Candy Cane Lane will formally open on December 7 and will be open until January 1, 2019.

Candy Cane Lane got its start in 1968 when a few families decided to deck their halls with holiday decorations. These were primarily made out of hand-painted wood embellishments, which were extremely popular at the time of creation. In the next year, they repeated the process, and as of 2018, the event has been held annually for 50 years.

Food was donated to the Edmonton Food Bank by Candy Cane Lane in the amount of 12 trucks in 2017. After the Heritage Days Festival, Candy Cane Lane became the second highest contributor to the food bank in that year’s figures. Beginning in 2019, Candy Cane Lane will be restricted to non-motorized vehicles only for the first time. Until further notice, Candy Cane Lane will only accept drive-thru orders in 2020, owing to the COVID-19 outbreak in Alberta.
