Lights of Wonder
December 17 @ 4:00 pm – 9:00 pm
From November 30 to December 31, Centennial Square in Downtown Victoria transforms into a dazzling holiday wonderland filled with breathtaking lights and festive cheer. Starting at 4 pm each day, this free, all-ages event invites everyone to experience themed light exhibits, interactive tunnels, and a towering 40-foot Christmas tree—perfect for memorable selfies under the glittering canopy.
Enjoy live entertainment every Friday and Saturday until December 20th when nightly performances begin (except Christmas Day). Cozy up with warm treats, stroll through photo-worthy displays, and discover holiday surprises, including a Ferris wheel debuting on December 20 and fun on-site activations like a 360° camera, photo booth, Lion Dancers, and a silent disco.
The lights stay on until 9 pm Sunday–Thursday, 10 pm on Fridays and Saturdays, and until 12:20 am on New Year’s Eve. Plus, on select evenings, free horse-drawn trolleys (Dec 6, 7, 13, 14, 20, 21 from 5 pm to 7 pm) will take families through the heart of Downtown Victoria, spreading holiday joy.
Whether you’re looking to capture festive photos, enjoy live performances, or make cherished holiday memories, Lights of Wonder is the place to be! For the full event schedule, visit lightsofwonder.ca.
