Event Details:

The Candlelight Festival is a part of the holiday kick-off weekend in Port Hope. Taking place the day before the annual Santa Claus Parade, folks are invited to explore Port Hope and experience the magic of the holiday season at night. The Candlelight Festival includes an illuminated procession and carol sing down Port Hope's main street, lighting of the bandshell, live music, projection art, an outdoor market, festive food and moonlight shopping! The Walk will begin at Walton & Pine Streets (155 Walton St.) at 6:00pm. Bring your singing voice and participate in the group carol sing along the route. Participants are invited to bring their own light source to carry (a lantern, candle with protective windshield, battery operated candle or flashlight). Some flame candles will be available at the start of the walk, while supplies last. Participants are also invited to bring a donation of a non-perishable food item. Following the Walk, indulge in a cup of hot cider in Memorial Park and help us light up the Park for the season with a countdown. Listen to live music and head up to Lent Lane to explore the outdoor market where you will find a variety of homespun products and gifts. This event is hosted in partnership with the Municipality of Port Hope, Critical Mass Art and the Heritage Business Improvement Area. The organizing team thanks all our partners for their contributions to this annual experience.
