Christmas in the Park

Expand to see the parent tip

For more than 30 years the Optimist Club of Orangeville has turned Kay Cee Gardens into a walk-through world of illuminated characters, millions of lights, music and festive community displays, open every evening in December.

Volunteers build new pieces each year, including a giant wooden gingerbread house and a Santa's Workshop where little elves hammer, saw and drill toys while Santa waves from inside. Entry is free, and sponsor donations fund the club's youth programs.

Parent tip: Go on a weeknight soon after 5:30 pm for the quietest paths, and let kids pick a favourite display to spot again on the way out.

Family panto

Aladdin: A Lad In Dufferin County (holiday panto)

Expand to see the parent tip

Theatre Orangeville's holiday pantomime this year is a fractured, locally flavoured Aladdin, with genies, a flying carpet, a magic lamp and familiar tunes rewritten just for the show.

It comes from the same team behind the theatre's Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and Rapunzel pantos, and the run mixes weekday 11 am and 2 pm matinees with 7:30 pm evening performances, so there is a time for preschoolers and school-age kids alike.

Parent tip: Panto is made for shouting back at the stage, so tell kids ahead of time that cheering and booing the villain is encouraged.

Plan your December

When each Orangeville Christmas event for kids happens

Book a panto matinee first since seats are limited, then pick any December evening for a free stroll through Christmas in the Park at Kay Cee Gardens, which is a short drive from the theatre on Broadway.

Looking further afield? Our Canada Christmas events for kids guide lists every confirmed event in the country, and we have city guides for Mississauga, Kitchener-Waterloo, Toronto and Barrie. The national search sorts every event by distance from your town.

A story for the drive home

A morning with Santa or an evening of holiday stories tends to end the same way: tired kids, a long drive and one more book before bed. Our picture book follows Rally the corgi on his first train ride to see his grand-paw-rents, and every page is painted by hand. If your family is spending December missing someone, it was written for that too. For the car, print our free corgi and train coloring pages.
