Fall might officially be in full swing, which means we’re weeks away from the return of the annual holiday tradition Cavalcade of Lights.

The 53rd annual Cavalcade of Lights returns to Toronto on November 30 and will feature the first lighting of Toronto’s official Christmas tree along with some spectacular fireworks.

Each year, the holiday traditions bring thousands of people down to Nathan Phillips Square and besides all the lights, the event will include live musical performances from some of Canada’s top performers and a skating party on the iconic outdoor rink.

The highlight of the evening, of course, is the lighting of Toronto’s official Christmas Tree, which glitters with more than 525,000 lights and hundreds of individual ornaments and will light up Nathan Phillips Square through to New Year’s Eve.

The tree is truly a sight to see and a holiday tradition that every Torontonian should partake in. If you haven’t had a chance to check out the tree before, here are some incredible pictures from past years’ Cavalcade of Lights.
