Christmas Magic in Cobourg

Cobourg, ON -For the past 16 years Cobourg, Ontario has been setting the stage for a spectacular display of Christmas lights in Victoria Park on Lake Ontario. Christmas Magic in Cobourg continues to amaze and delight visitors with its season splendour – a dazzling display stretching from the shores of Lake Ontario to the entrance of Victoria Park – an expanse of two city blocks!

This year the park will be sportn’ a new look with a new design that will be sure to enchant children of all ages. Our snowdome, acts as centre stage and will be transformed into a new, spectacular display that will be kept a secret until the lighting up night!

Join us Friday, November 25th , our commencement date, for an evening of festivities starting at historic Victoria Hall on King Street. Bring along a non-perishable food item for the Fare Share food bank and exchange it for a candle. Join in some carol singing at 6:15pm. Then join in the fun with a welcome from our very own Town Crier before Victoria Hall is illuminated with 1000’s of sparkling lights.

At 6:30pm the candlelit walk will move along King Street to the Victoria Park Snowdome. Following the lighting up of the park, enjoy a hot chocolate and meet Santa! The highlight of the evening will undoubtedly be the switching on the lights – thousands of them throughout Victoria Park at 7:00pm!

This magnificent display can be enjoyed each evening free to the public from November 25th , 2011 until January 2nd , 2012 6pm – 10pm.
