Now in its fifth year, Holiday Fair in the Square has moved locations from Toronto’s Nathan Phillips Square to Assembly Park in Vaughan to accommodate all of the event’s new and exciting features.

The Vaughan location is a short drive from downtown Toronto, and still accessible by subway. Also, a portion of the proceeds from the event will continue to support local charity, Epilepsy Toronto.

Admission for Holiday Fair in the Square is free. Tickets are required for Nights of Lights. The event opens on Nov. 26 and runs until Jan. 2.

Holiday Fair in the Square will be returning for the 2021 holiday season after a year hiatus due to COVID-19. Holiday Fair in the Square also has new partnership with Nights of Lights to deliver over 175,000 square feet of activities.

Visitors can begin their journey by strolling through Nights of Lights -- a fully immersive light show chock-full of seasonal displays and visual wonders all lit up by more than 1,000,000 LED lights synchronized to your favourite holiday tunes. The fun continues as they exit Nights of Lights to be immediately transported into Holiday Fair in the Square’s winter wonderland.

Visitors can also visit the Artisan Marketplace to buy unique holiday gift.

Here are some of the 2021 feature attractions:

Nights of Lights: This walk-through light show takes you on a 45-minute journey of spectacular lights and displays all synchronized to classic holiday tunes.
