Collingwood, ON [17 November 2025] – This holiday season, the outdoor space at 84 Hurontario street across from Town Hall, transforms into a vibrant celebration space in the heart of downtown. Welcoming the community with festive lighting, Santa’s sleigh, and a dedicated area honouring various cultural traditions, this space invites residents and visitors alike to gather in the spirit of unity, peace, and joy.
The Town of Collingwood is dedicated to building an inclusive, equitable, and accessible community where everyone feels valued and a sense of belonging. Together, we continue to foster understanding and awareness of the many identities, experiences, and perspectives that strengthen our community.

A special highlight of the season is the installation of a Menorah, generously funded by members of the South Georgian Bay Jewish Community (SGBJC). The community is invited to join SGBJC for the Menorah Lighting Ceremony on November 22 at 7:00 p.m. a meaningful moment that celebrates light, resilience, and togetherness.
SGBJC is a volunteer-led organization committed to fostering connection, understanding, and celebration through Jewish life and tradition. “We are proud to share this holiday with our friends and neighbours,” says a representative from the group, Rashell Feldman. “The Menorah stands as a symbol of hope and inclusion for all.”
The holiday hub in the space at 84 Hurontario will remain open throughout the season, offering a welcoming space for reflection, celebration, and community connection.
Let the lights guide you downtown – where Collingwood celebrates the season together.
