Brockville River of Lights
2024-12-21 18:00 - 22:00, 2024-12-22 18:00 - 22:00, 2024-12-23 18:00 - 22:00, 2024-12-24 18:00 - 22:00, 2024-12-25 18:00 - 22:00, 2024-12-26 18:00 - 22:00, 2024-12-27 18:00 - 22:00, 2024-12-28 18:00 - 22:00 (America/Toronto) and 9 more dates | Blockhouse Island, 30 Block House Island Rd, Brockville, Ontario, Canada
The River of Lights is a holiday light show choreographed to your favourite pop songs and holiday tunes. Mini lights and flood lights, along with some unique lighting features, are synced to music making this event an annual favourite. You can drive in a loop around the show grounds, or park to watch from your car. Tune your car radio to our show’s frequency (look for signs on-site) to enjoy the musical component of the show.

Where is it?

The light show takes over Blockhouse Island Parkway, a peninsula on the waterfront in Brockville and a local favourite location to ship watch and enjoy the river. During December, the site is transformed by wrapping trees with thousands of lights for your enjoyment. Access the site from Water Street and drive straight towards the river. Parking spaces are available around the perimeter of the site, but if all of the spaces are taken, you can loop around the site and see the show from all angles. Typically there are sufficient parking spaces.

When is it?

The show runs every night all December long. The full show choreographed to music starts at 6:00 pm and runs on a loop until 10:00 pm.
The first and final hours (between 5:00 pm-6:00 pm, and 10:00 pm-11:00 pm) feature a softer light show without the music, more suitable for someone with sensory concerns or people who like a calmer experience.

Opening night is Saturday, November 30th, and the last night is January 6th.

How much does it cost?

The event is free!
We have partnered with a number of local cafes and restaurants on our Shop Where Your Heart Is program and we encourage you to visit a local restaurant or do some local shopping to support our local economy in lieu of paying admission.

Funding is provided by the Government of Ontario.
