Annual Tree Lighting Ceremony
For nearly a century, this has been where Toronto gathers to welcome the season, and this year, the magic returns in full splendour.
Join us when our grand lobby transforms into a scene of pure holiday wonder. Carolers fill the air with song, live music lends the evening its sparkle, and Santa himself arrives to greet the crowd — all in the moments before thousands of twinkling lights bring our grand tree to brilliant life.
