Owen Sound's Festival of Northern Lights

Our Festival

The Festival of Northern Lights has become one of the most beloved family experiences in our three-county region. No grinch can resist the magic of the lights as they gradually illuminate the Sydenham River from the Sound to the downtown city core on opening night! Join thousands as we enter �The Gateway to the Holiday Season� together on Friday November 18th.

Enjoy the beauty of Owen Sound in the Christmas season each evening from 5pm to 11pm, as 18+ kilometres of lights illuminate the harbour, the Sydenham riverbanks, the downtown core, and Harrison Park.

There is Oh So Much to see and DO here in the winter!! - watch for the Festival�s Winter Guide for listings of Symphony & Choral concerts, Theatre, Gallery, art and craft, sport and community events, games; skating schedules and rinks; snowmobile maps, skiing, and fine dining from November to April in and around Owen Sound!

Come See the Lights and Catch the Magic!
