The best Christmas lights in Ontario!
There’s nothing like the sight of Christmas lights strung up against the night sky!
These are the most amazing places to see illuminated with colour. Check them out!
NIAGARA FALLS WINTER FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS
Niagara Falls is breathtaking at any time, but the added effect of over 2 million lights strung throughout the town and around the falls utterly transforms the falls into an unforgettable site. Combine that with the Fallsview Sound and Light Show, which transforms the Oakes Hotel into a moving canvas for paintings of light, and you have the recipe for a December must-visit!
LIGHTS ACROSS CANADA
On December 7, Parliament Hill will transform into a canvas for incredible moving paintings! Kicking off a month of festive lights that turn our capital city into a winter wonderland, this special presentation will display an animated special with a heartwarming, family-friendly story on the walls of the Parliament building. You have to see it to believe it!
SIMCOE PANORAMA OF LIGHTS
Simcoe is a beautiful little town. Resting against Lake Erie, Simcoe’s downtown core follows the flow of the river to the lake through Wellington and Clifton Park, and every year they light up that downtown with tens of thousands of animated lights that transform their town into a winter wonderland. Opening night takes place November 25, and on the 31 of December they turn off for another year. See them before it’s too late!
FESTIVAL OF NORTHERN LIGHTS
Owen Sound hosts the Festival of Northern Lights, six weeks of Winter celebration that light up the night sky and lets the coldest time of the year create the warmest memories. Dog sled races, skating, concerts, carriage rides and more make this Owen Sound’s favourite time of the year. Check here for a full schedule! Want to explore Ontario this December?
