CP Holiday Train schedules annual stop

The Canadian Pacific Train will be making its annual stop in Thief River Falls on Tuesday, December 12th, arriving at 7:30pm with the show from 7:45-8:15pm on the tracks by the City Hall, 2017 Highway 59 SE.

A typical Holiday Train event goes something like this: the train arrives and pulls to a safe stop in front of the crowd. The stage door lowers and the band opens with its first song. After that, a brief presentation takes place with local food bank officials and other dignitaries. Once complete, the band resumes performing a mix of traditional and modern holiday-themed songs. The whole event lasts about 30 minutes. Once the band plays its farewell song, the stage door closes, and the train heads off to the next stop. 

The event is free to the public. You are only asked to bring a canned food item donation for the local food bank. Food Bank representatives will be on site collecting donations.

The Holiday Train is about 1,000 feet in length with 14 brightly decorated rail cars. Each car is decorated with hundreds of thousands of technology-leading LED lights and holiday designs. As the train clears U.S. customs, the exterior lights are turned off. Otherwise, the Holiday Train lights are always on.

Plan to attend this festive event and bring the whole family with!
