The free holiday light display at Penhold RV Park is back for a second year, with organizers inviting more businesses and groups to take part.
The Monarch Winter Village is returning to Penhold RV Park for its second year, organizers announced, promising more lights and decorations than its 2025 debut. The display features more than 10 kilometres of lights and was created by local company Monarch Earthworks as a gift to the community.
Monarch Earthworks owner Drew Iwanozcko said the village reflects the sense of community in Penhold and is meant to keep the holiday season accessible to everyone regardless of cost. Penhold Mayor Mike Yargeau praised the ongoing initiative, calling it a tradition that brightens the season for residents and visitors.
The Monarch Winter Village will officially light up on Friday, Nov. 20, as part of Penhold's Community Christmas celebration, and will remain free to the public throughout the holiday season. Businesses and community groups wanting to participate are asked to confirm their involvement by Nov. 6 by contacting Drew Iwanozcko.
