Candlelight Festival
The Candlelight Festival is an annual holiday experience that invites you to explore the seasonal transformation of downtown Port Hope.
We are planning to deliver Festival program that offers in-person, virtual and self-guided exploration activities this year.
Stay tuned for 2022 Festival announcements and opportunities for involvement.
The Port Hope Candlelight Festival is delivered in partnership by the Municipality of Port Hope, Heritage Business District, Critical Mass Art and FBC Port Hope.
Holiday Light Display
Enjoy the beautiful and festive holiday light display in Memorial and Rotary Parks. During the dark of winter, the illuminated park features bring a sense of joy and enchantment to our downtown from November 25 until January 2.
Creative partners and sponsors
The Port Hope Candlelight Festival begins the last Friday in November (November 25, 2022) and will run until January 2, 2023.
We are seeking community partnerships and sponsorship to assist us in the delivering a creative and engaging program. Sponsorship provides an opportunity for organizations to connect with the Festival audience and help celebrate the holiday season throughout Port Hope.
