AGASSIZ — An annual holiday tradition is on track to reach Agassiz tonight (Dec. 19).

At 5:45 p.m., the CPKC Holiday Train will be pulling up outside the Agassiz Agricultural Hall at 6800 Pioneer Avenue with Canadian rock band Barenaked Ladies.

Pre-show celebrations begin at 4:30 p.m., including food trucks, visits from Santa and Mrs. Claus, a fire truck tour and more.

Residents are encouraged to bring non-perishable food items or cash to help support the local food bank.

“We anticipate this to be a very busy event,” wrote Tourism Harrison in a social media post. “For those driving to the area, we recommend parking away from the venue and walking over. Arrive early and find parking to reduce wait times and overcrowding.”
