Thorold Festival of Lights

Add Colour to the Holidays

In addition to the Santa Claus Parade, the City hosts the Thorold Festival of Lights. This is a friendly competition between neighbours for bragging rights. Don't miss out on the fun in Thorold this holiday season. 

Vote for your favourite light display. Take an evening drive to experience all of the festive decorations residents and businesses have to offer in Thorold. Snap a photo with your cell phone. As photos are submitted (jpeg or png format) to this email event@thorold.ca they will be featured below.  

Each year, along with the Thorold Festival of Lights, the City hosts a Holiday Colouring Contest for our younger residents within two age categories. Our City staff are the judges after we display them on a wall and chose two winners from all the talented entrants.
