A family-friendly light festival is returning to Calgary in an effort to brighten winter's darkest days.

“Glow Downtown Winter Light Festival is a celebration of winter and light, allowing Calgarians to embody our longest season and explore the downtown core through a series of multimedia art installations," Ro said in a Tuesday news release
The festival also features extended patios, food trucks and fire pits to keep attendees warm.
“We are incredibly excited to bring Glow back to Calgarians in its fourth inception,” Ro said.
