The festive season kicks off in Swift Current tonight with the annual Downtown Christmas Tree Lighting at Market Square at Central & Chaplin. We're expecting great weather and another great crowd for tonight's event, which gets underway at around 7:00pm.

Swift Current Mayor Denis Perrault and Marlene Johnson from the City of Swift Current joined Colin on the Redhead Equipment Magic Morning Show today to talk about tonight's event...

While you're downtown tonight, make sure to stop by and see us along with our friends at Innovation Credit Union in the north courtyard of Innovation Centre along Chaplin St E for some free hot chocolate!

Also, please note there will be some traffic restrictions downtown for the Tree Lighting event.
