Join Wilderness Union for a nighttime hike checking out some of Toronto's best holiday lights.
We will travel through the city, following a path along some of Toronto's most impressive illuminations before settling in for a drink in the Distillery District to reminisce on a year well spent.
From giant Santas and musical light shows to the most popular selfie sign in the city... local, easy, and stunning. This is a great way to wrap up your 2024 with Wilderness Union.
Join Wilderness Union for a nighttime hike through Toronto, seeing all the wonderful decorations and lights that are on display. Starting at St. Clair Station, we will stroll along to Inglewood Dr., where the residents cover the street with huge inflatable Santas each year. After this display of whimsy, we will continue on through the Don Valley to get a breath of wilderness in the center of Toronto, then head to Cumberland Street, which has been transformed into a winter wonderland complete with a light tunnel, thanks to the help of thousands of LED Christmas lights.
After that, we will head down to City Hall, where over 300,000 lights and a massive 55-foot tall white spruce tree await. The Cavalcade of Lights is one of the city's largest Christmas light displays and has been running for 57 years — truly a part of Toronto's history.
Finally, we will walk to the Distillery District, where they have their astonishingly beautiful market and light show. This part does require a ticket if you wish to enter the Winter Village. Tickets need to be booked in advance online to avoid disappointment. It is wonderful!
We will then relax and enjoy the evening together at a local pub.
