Bloor-Yorkville Holiday Magic

This November and December, the Bloor-Yorkville BIA (BY BIA) will celebrate the return of the holiday season by illuminating the neighbourhood with a one-of-a-kind display of festive lighting. Continuing with annual traditions, visitors and residents of Bloor-Yorkville can look forward to shopping, dining and taking in the neighbourhood’s art and cultural attractions surrounded by the holiday lighting along tree-lined streets.

 

The Village of Yorkville Park will light up on November 25th and trees along Bloor Street will be lit up for a spectacular display to welcome everyone for the holiday season.

The Bloor-Yorkville BIA (BY BIA) and Five-time JUNO Award-winning Canadian singer-songwriter Matt Dusk celebrate the holiday season with Holiday Magic, a free outdoor concert and lighting ceremony taking place on Cumberland Street and the Village of Yorkville Park, hosted by Award-winning Singer & TV Host, Keshia Chante. Returning for the 2023 season, Holiday Magic is a community celebration that will feature an exciting live performance from Matt Dusk and the annual “Flick the Switch” Lighting Ceremony with the event in support of the Canadian Foundation for Aids Research (CANFAR).

 

To further celebrate the neighbourhood, come try out the uniquely designed Urban Campfire Benches along Bloor Street West (between Church Street and Avenue Road). The benches are permanent fixtures along Bloor Street, with 60 benches resembling campfires that light up when in use. The benches will be lit up in holiday colours and bring a piece of the great outdoors to bustling Bloor Street.

Come out and enjoy the lights and the neighbourhood through to December 31st.
