Want a fun way to celebrate the winter season in Toronto this year? Then enjoy a winter-themed family-friendly outdoor festival, Winter Glow! Winter Glow is a wonderful mix of beautiful holiday lights and good, old-fashioned carnival fun!
Winter Glow started back on December 5, 2024, and runs through December 22, 2024. It runs from 4:00 PM to 10:00 PM on Monday through Friday and from noon to 10:00 PM on Saturday and Sunday.
Winter Glow lives up to its name. There are beautiful holiday lights. But that’s not all. They have something you won’t find at just any holiday lights event: six different carnival rides! This includes the Great Canadian Carousel, the 45-foot tall Ferris Wheel, and the Teacups.
Winter Glow has something for car lovers, too. GM Canada is showcasing its electric lineup at Toronto’s Winter Glow holiday event. Attendees have the chance to explore vehicle capabilities and register for test drives. There are other brand experiences and product sampling pop-ups throughout the event.
You can also enjoy both contemporary and traditional holiday hits streamed on the Square courtesy of Chevrolet Silverado EV partner SiriusXM. There will also be some entertainment surprises throughout the duration of the event such as holiday carolers.
Another interesting feature of the event is the Tree of Remembrance. The Rotary Club of Toronto’s 30-foot Tree of Remembrance will be at the event, and this gives you a chance to get a yellow ribbon so you can write a message to a loved one and attach it to the tree. This supports local charities through The Rotary Club of Toronto and its Foundation.
There are also delicious treats at the event! This includes mini donuts and hot chocolate.
There are also select special nights throughout the event. Upcoming special dates include:
- Friday, December 13 to Sunday, December 15: Family Weekend
- Tuesday, December 10: Student Night
