How to Play

It’s simple: Find as many ‘Candy Cane Numbers’ as you can in the window displays of participating businesses between December 3-17. Look closely, all numbers may not be in plain sight! 

There are two editions to play this year: Downtown and Valley. You can play both and earn even more tickets in the drawing! Download or print the tracker(s) you wish to play to get started.

How to Win

The number of tickets you earn for the prize drawing depends on how many numbers you find and selfies you submit. Details can be found on the Candy Cane Trackers.

To be eligible for the drawing, you must submit your tracker(s) online or in-person by Tuesday, December 17. 

Submit your Tracker Online

Submit your tracker(s) in-person at the Parks & Recreation main office:

  • NEW LOCATION—1208 Glacier Avenue

All Ages Activity

This DIY activity isn’t just for the kids! The participating businesses have donated many amazing prizes for the drawing that fit every age group. We have gift certificates, wine, helicopter tours, toys, jewelry, and so much more!

Bonus Selfies

Five extra-large candy canes (we’re talking 2-3 feet large!) are hanging in windows of CBJ offices and facilities in the downtown area. Take a selfie with each one you find and submit the photo(s) online. Each one is worth one bonus ticket in the drawing. Find all five candy canes and you have five more chances to win!
