Experience the magic of the season in Owen Sound — where the lights shine brighter and the holidays feel warmer. The Festival of Northern Lights transforms the city’s River District and beautiful Harrison Park into a glowing winter wonderland, with thousands of twinkling lights and imaginative displays that bring the season to life.

Stroll along the scenic Sydenham River as the light reflections dance on the water, explore the River District’s festive storefronts, and warm up with a hot drink from one of the local cafés or restaurants. Whether you’re visiting with family, friends, or that special someone, this self-guided light display is the perfect way to celebrate the holidays and capture the spirit of winter in Grey Bruce.

Don’t miss the opening night celebration, when the city lights up for the first time with live music, entertainment, and holiday cheer. The lights remain on nightly through the New Year, offering countless photo opportunities and memories waiting to be made.

Plan your visit and make Owen Sound your holiday destination — where nature meets magic, and every corner glows with the charm of the season.
