The holiday season starts in a few weeks and one of the most fun ways to celebrate is by piling the family into the car and going on a Christmas drive-thru or walk-thru. The drive thru holiday experience is continuing in Toronto and the GTA this year since it reduces contact with other people and keeps everyone safe. There are several holiday drive-thru light festivals offered in the GTA in 2021:
Holiday Nights of Lights 2021
Enjoy the Holiday Nights of Lights walk-thru in Vaughan from November 26, 2021 to January 2, 2022. This holiday light display features 1,000,000 LED animated lights, holiday tunes and four tunnels and a new garden to walk through. Holiday Nights of Lights should take 45 minutes; there is limited capacity; proof of vaccination is not required as this is an outdoor event.
