Join the Festival of Lights

Since the first festival in 2020, WILD Winter Festival of Lights has been able to donate over $75,000 to local charities and collect over 25,000 lbs of non-perishable food items, filling food bank pantries across Durham Region.

Our success is attributed to our loyal community members, corporate sponsors, and amazing volunteers.

There are lots of ways you can get involved to help us create a magical and successful festival, from decorating and entering your own display, to sponsoring one of the ready-made displays we have for you, to bundling up and volunteering your time, to help us make this year a success! Don’t see something that suits you? That’s okay!

Want to add to the magical experience? You simply need to supply your display and set it up, provide extension cords and ensure it is secured. Then, just show us what to do!

Things to know:

Displays can be as large or as small as you wish.
Either way, we would love to have you!
Incorporate your organization’s banners, mascots and assets to bring recognition to your brand.
We will provide an illuminated sign with your logo in front of your display.
Your logo will also be predominantly placed on our Sponsors page, with a clickable link.
Displays do not have to be manned.
In the week following the festival, you will need to return to dismantle your display and clean up your area.

There is no cost for entering a display, but we want to make sure every spot is lit! Unfortunately due to several no-shows last year, we have had to implement a $100 deposit which will be required to reserve a spot for your display.*

NEW in 2022 We have a judge coming out to award the best displays with a custom trophy!
