The Candlelit Stroll through Downtown Burlington is back for 2024 and we have all the details. This free family-friendly event transforms the downtown core into a winter wonderland of lights, glowing storefronts and merriment.
What Is The Candlelit Stroll?
The Candlelit Stroll takes place in Downtown Burlington and has always been one of my favourite events of the season. It is festive and cheery and brings the whole community together for a family-friendly gathering.
On Friday, November 29th, gather at Civic Square, just outside City Hall at 6 PM to pick up your candles (or glow sticks) and maps. Stay for the lighting of City of Burlington’s Tree of Hope, then wander the streets of Burlington taking in the sights, sounds, and samples!
