The magic of the holiday season has arrived in downtown Toronto as the city kicked off Cavalcade of Lights on Saturday evening.
While there were no fireworks this year, the light displays at Nathan Phillips Square will be there every night until January 2.
Toronto’s City Hall and its surroundings has turned into a dazzling wonderland, and the city’s tree has officially been lit.
Skating season is here! The opening day of #CavalcadeOfLights welcomed pop-up skating performances by @lepatinlibre, national ice-skating champions and world bronze medalists @PiperGilles & @PaulDPoirier and the Trinity Synchronized skating team. ⛸️ https://t.co/INVRQ62QDH pic.twitter.com/laBzK2JDUY
