Morrisburg, ON — The most wonderful time of the year returns to Upper Canada Village beginning December 1! 2022 marks 22 years of holiday tradition at Alight at Night, one of Ontario’s largest outdoor light festivals with more than a million lights.
Alight at Night transforms the historic village into a captivating winter wonderland, providing a fun, festive and family-friendly experience for all ages. The multi-sensory experience creates a one-of-a-kind evening stroll through a picture-perfect postcard setting steeped in holiday magic.
“Alight at Night has become an annual tradition for many families, friends, businesses, and couples,” said St. Lawrence Parks Commission Historic Sites Director, Geoff Waycik. “Last year, Upper Canada Village welcomed more than 46,000 guests to Alight at Night. This represents significant economic benefits to our local community at a time of the year when it is needed, while playing a special role in our guests’ holiday celebrations. It’s one of our favourite events of the year.”
This year guests can celebrate with the return of old-fashioned carol singing, a sound and light show with hundreds of colourful lights flashing to the beat of holiday songs, a visit with the Village’s Victorian St. Nick (until December 23) and much more.
“Alight at Night is a fun-filled festival that is sure to bring holiday joy to all who attend,” said Neil Lumsden, Minister of Tourism, Culture and Sport. “I encourage everyone to visit Upper Canada Village with their friends and families to experience this unique event. Those who stay overnight can claim up to 20 percent of eligible travel accommodation expenses through our Ontario Staycation Tax Credit.”
There are many accommodation partners ready to welcome guests to the Dundas, Glengarry and Stormont area.
