The Cavalcade of Lights at Nathan Phillips Square

This is a free nightly event that runs every day until January 7th, 2024. It brings together a celebration of fire, breathtaking light displays, unique art installations, and – of course – skating! Bring your own skates, or rent them on-site, and cruise through a truly illuminating experience.
