A magical start to the season! 🎄✨

Holiday Magic lit up the night as the community gathered in the Village of Yorkville Park to kick off the holiday season!

The night featured an amazing live performance by Shawn Hook, who had the crowd singing along, and a stunning opening set from Storry, filling the park with her powerful vocals. Rick Campanelli led the “Flick the Switch” countdown, and the moment the park illuminated was pure magic! 🤩

With the lights now glowing — including the light tunnel, snowflake displays, light fountain, and 138 illuminated trees along Bloor Street — the neighbourhood is officially in full holiday mode! 🎅🏼

Holiday Magic also proudly supported Second Harvest, with tap-to-donate stations on-site so guests could give back while enjoying the festivities. 💛

All season long, Traditional Strolling Carolers will be performing throughout Bloor-Yorkville, adding festive warmth to every corner of the neighbourhood. And from December 3–7, Fleurs de Villes NOËL will bring beautiful holiday-inspired floral artistry to explore.

Thanks again to everyone who came out. Enjoy the holiday lights, the carollers, and the festive spirit all season long in Bloor-Yorkville! ❄️
