As the last rays of sunlight disappeared behind the mountains, Jan. 24, a party broke out on Patricia Street, with people of all ages taking to the street for an evening of revelry.
With a reconfigured layout and warm temperatures, the annual ATCO Street Party was bigger and better than ever, drawing a huge crowd of enthusiastic locals and visitors alike.
To keep those folks entertained, there was live music, a hockey tournament, a rail jam, a learn to ski workshop, an ice bar and street performers, including Jasper’s very own Shawna Woelke, who pulled off her best moves with a flaming hoola hoop.
And, of course, what’s a street party be without food?
There was all kinds of delicious treats, from beavertails made by the Jasper-Yellowhead Historical Society to Ukrainian kobassa dogs, whipped up by Fire Chief Greg Van Tighem, and maple syrup on a stick offered by l’Association Canadienne Francophone de l’Alberta (ACFA).
After everyone was hopped up on sugary treats, the evening wrapped up with a spectacular fireworks display at Centennial Park.
