Where You Can See The CPKC Holiday Train Around Alberta

Updated December 1, 2024

As the holiday season approaches a favourite activity for many families across Alberta is to check out the Canadian Pacific Holiday Train.

This land has welcomed First Nations from across Turtle Island, and settlers and visitors from around the world. Alberta lands are part of Treaties 4, 6, 7, 8 and 10, and the homeland of the Métis. Alberta Mamas respects the sovereignty, lands, histories, languages, knowledge systems and cultures of all Indigenous, Métis, and Inuit nations. We are all Treaty people.

This year’s live entertainment on December 8th includes American Authors and KT Tunstall or Tyler Shaw and Shawnee Kish. Magic! and Sofia Camera will perform December 11th – 15th!

Warm-up around the bonfires while sipping some hot chocolate, and of course see all of the beautiful lights that decorate the train cars.
