Bracebridge’s Festival Of Lights Returns To Downtown Bracebridge

Holiday magic returns to Downtown Bracebridge with the annual Festival of Lights, brought to you by the Town of Bracebridge and the Downtown Bracebridge Business Improvement Area (BIA). Get into the festive spirit at an array of family-friendly events and activities.

Moonlight Shopping Party and Street Festival
Friday, November 22 from 6 to 9 p.m.

Stock up on holiday gifts and treats at this late-night shopping event and street festival. Sip on a hot chocolate while you stroll from shop to shop to enjoy the living holiday window displays, fireworks, children’s activities, and so much more. Don’t forget to bring a new, unwrapped toy for the Fill-a-Cruiser toy drive.

Self-Guided Festivities
November 22 to December 6

Bring your keen eye while you roam around Downtown Bracebridge in a game of Elf on the Shelf hide and seek! Elves will be located in select downtown businesses; spot them all for a chance to win one of three $50 Shop the Bridge gift cards. For more chances to win, take part in the Hot Cocoa Trail at participating downtown locations. Get your holiday shopping done and support local.

Santa Claus Parade
Friday, December 6 at 6 p.m.

Santa Claus is coming to town! Celebrate the season and start the countdown to Christmas with the Santa Claus parade, brought to you by the Rotary Club of Bracebridge/Muskoka Lakes. The parade will start at 6 p.m. and make its way along Manitoba Street.
