What is Nanton Lights the Way?

Nanton Lights the Way is the overarching theme for all sorts of fabulous experiences in Nanton throughout the holiday season. Get in the spirit of the holidays with personalized, friendly, small-town service and many one-of-a-kind shops to choose from. Get away from the traffic, big box stores, and crowded shopping centers and instead get free parking, unique stores, and a town you can walk in.

Keep checking in on this page for updates on events and other happenings in Nanton throughout the holiday season.

Come for the drive, stay for the magic.

Shopping

Nanton has become known as THE place to go for cool, funky little shops with great gift ideas: jewelry, art, vintage goodies, books, candles, curios, cards and more. Ditch the big box stores and shop local this year. Park the car and come experience Nanton this holiday season.
Experiencing

Nanton is a place to experience day and night. Come for the day and stay for the evening. You can see the iconic grain elevators lit up or go for a drive around town to see the many businesses and houses decorated with Christmas lights and decorations (it’s a BIG thing here!). And if the night is clear, you’ll be awestruck by the millions of stars above you. Can’t get that in the city.
Eating

Nanton has a variety of eating options from dine in to take out. Check with businesses for their hours and offers as some have extended hours on certain days throughout the holidays.
