Pandemic keeps changing travel plans for many. However, thanks to the wonderful neighbours in Kamloops one can enjoy annually beautiful displays. Last year I made a Google Map: https://krasun.ca/2020/12/31/kamloops-winter-holidays-lights-2020/ to list all the beautiful houses we visited in 2020. This year I kept updating the map, and although some houses were not decorated the same as in 2021, many had their lights on. Thanks to amazing people who shared with me places, as I had more limited time to visit every area of the city this year. Next year in December you can make your new holiday lights tour and please feel free to send me updates and I will keep posting them on the map so the map will keep growing and allow more families to enjoy holiday lights in December 2022.
Everyone who has access to Google Map can program up to 8 locations and celebrate the views that local Kamloopsians created for everyone near their residence places. The map has pictures so one can preview the site. Not all information is accurate as my GPS has not always captured the correct locations and now pictures are from 2020/2021, so please feel free to send corrections to okondrashov@tru.ca. If you have pictures of places I could not visit, please feel free to send me the photo and location. If you are the house owner and do not want your site to be listed on the map, please let me know, and I will remove it.
Thank you all for supporting sharing the joy, hope, peace and creativity during this 2021 holiday season. I keep hoping that next year’s annual senior’s tour will be back, and more people can enjoy seeing the terrific winter lights in Kamloops. Happy Holidays
