Mayor's Tree Lighting

Embrace the Festive Spirit in Ottawa!

Join us Saturday following Thanksgiving every November, starting at 4:30 PM for a jolly good time. Get crafty, sing along to carols, sip on Hot Chocolate, and stand a chance to win children's bikes. At 5:30 PM, witness the Mayor's Tree Lighting Ceremony. With all the lights on downtown, this event marks the beginning of the holiday season. Following the ceremony enjoy an appearance from Santa as he makes his way through Ottawa with the Christmas parade. Come for the fun, stay for the cheer—see you there!
