Warm up your holiday spirit at our Candlelight Festival; a community event that brings Port Hope visitors and neighbours together for an old-fashioned carol sing and festive light ceremony in Memorial Park every November.
Walk down main street by candlelight and kick off the festive season
The Candlelight Festival begins with carolling along Walton Street to Memorial Park for the magical lighting of holiday decorations. Stay for the live music and beauty of the night! Stop in at the Capitol Theatre nearby for the Capitol Christmas festivities.
The festival will be from November 25, 2022 until January 2, 2023. For the full list of things to do, visit our Candlelight Festival webpage below.
