Despite the chilly temperatures, Weyburn Tourism is still going ahead with tonight's opening of this year’s River Park Sparkles. 

This is the third year of River Park Sparkles, a festive event where campsites at River Park get decorated for the Holiday Season.  

Executive Director with Weyburn Tourism, Larry Heggs says this event brings people to the community and supports tourism.  

"I know of people that come from upwards of 100 miles away to come and see it every year, and some of them come multiple times a year."   

He adds that the business community usually gets involved in these kinds of things. 

"Been in some conversations with a few businesses, and I'm expecting it to get bigger and better every year, as we grow with this."  

The event runs from December 6th to January 3rd, and the lights go on after dusk each day from around 5:30 p.m. until 8:30 a.m.
