Brockville – The annual Brockville River of Lights Presented by Canarm Ltd. is set to run from Saturday, November 30th to Monday, January 6th on Blockhouse Island.

The River of Lights is a holiday light display on Blockhouse Island which includes thousands of twinkle lights and flood lights set to music. The show is approximately 40 minutes in length before repeating the Set. Tune your car radio to the show frequency and enjoy the show from the comfort of your vehicle.

The first and final hours each night display a static light show (no music), while between 6:00 pm and 10:00 pm each night, the light and sound show will run in a loop, making the trees dance with lights as a mix of contemporary music and classic holiday tunes entertain you.

The full light and sound show runs from 6:00 pm to 10:00 pm (daily) with lights only (no music) from 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm and 10:00 pm to 11:00 pm.

These hours are sensory-friendly and feature soft glowing lights that slowly change from one colour to the next. No strobing or flashing lights, and no accompanying music or effects.

Turn your headlights off for the best experience (for yourself and others!) Load up with blankets, hot drinks, snacks, and warm clothing. Similar to a drive-in movie theatre, they ask that if you park in a parking space to watch the show you turn off your headlights so that you are not affecting viewers on the other side of the show area.

Idling in your car is not very environmentally friendly, so they encourage you to opt to turn your car (and therefore heat) off during the show and bundle up in blankets instead.

You can also vote for a song to be added to next year’s show – Take the survey here: https://brockville.com/things-to-do/riveroflights/#vote
