There is one more dreamy outdoor light installation in Ontario that you'll want to add to your holiday bucket list.
Alight At Night showcases more than one-million individual coloured lights atop gardens, trees, and heritage buildings on a kilometre-long trail just outside of Ottawa (and just shy of four hours outside of Toronto).
You can amble through the illuminated gardens of Upper Canada Village or explore them by horse-drawn wagon or romantic carriage.
The multi-day event also offers rides on a vintage merry-go-round and miniature train, Christmas carolling and visits with Santa, along with festive food and drink.
The site borders the St. Lawrence River and is one of the largest living-history attractions in the country, with historical mills, workshops and homes from as far back as the 1860s, as well as three restaurants and a bakery. The location is also known for its spooky Halloween extravaganza, Pumpkinferno, which boasts 7,000 jack-0-lantern art displays.
Thank you to all our visitors who joined us on our first weekend of our annual winter event #AlightatNight! Santa listened to our holiday wish and graced us with snow yesterday as well making it truly magical! ✨❄️
