This Ontario town turns into a magical holiday experience with trolly rides & festive lights

The holiday season is here and this Ontario town is going all out with its annual light display. Simcoe Christmas Panorama returns with more than 60 displays and 200,000 lights, transforming its trees and downtown parks into a winter wonderland this December.

The beloved free event kicks off on December 2nd at 6 PM as the town awaits the arrival of Santa on the Bickle and begins the official countdown to the lights.

As you enjoy the beautiful displays, you can also sip on some hot beverages and treats offered in the park. Warm cider, hot chocolate, apple cider donuts, and individually packaged cookies will be available.

Love a good trolly ride? These will be available on select dates from 6 PM to 9 PM – December 8th, 9th, 15th and 16th. It’s priced at $3 per person.

Though there usually is a Christmas market, according to organizers this year there will only be a few vendors in the park but no official Christmas market.

The Simcoe Christmas Panorama will light up the night sky every day from 6 PM to 10 PM, including Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and New Years Eve.

The Panorama is free to attend but you can still support the annual event with donations.
