About the Forest Display
The SIGA Enchanted Forest is now in its 9th Season as Saskatchewan’s favourite Christmas Light Display and Christmas Tradition for thousands of families throughout the province. The SIGA Enchanted Forest is a unique Drive-thru Christmas Light Display that winds through an actual Forest, utilizing huge illuminated evergreens as backdrops for a collection of computer animated light displays including the new Fireworks display and the popular Twelve days of Christmas. The combination makes the SIGA Enchanted Forest one of the best displays in Canada. Close to 60,000 visitors view the spectacular displays every year.
