A Self-Led Walk, Run, or Roll through the Holidays
2025 Map
Event Overview
The Yarmouth Holiday Lights Festival invites everyone to enjoy a festive tour of holiday lights across the Town and Municipality of Yarmouth. Homes, businesses, farms, and municipal buildings will brighten the season as our community lights up together. There is no single gathering point or group start. You choose when and where to go using our interactive map.
Take a winter walk with your family, roll through the neighbourhood with a stroller or wheelchair, or plan a warm drive-by route to see your favourites. Bundle up, grab a hot drink, and make it a new tradition.
How It Works
- Residents and businesses can register their decorated property to be included on the official festival map.
- The map will be released online so families can build a route and explore at their own pace.
- By registering, participants agree to have their lights on during the festival weekend.
- There are no scheduled activities, no start/finish locations, and no line-ups. Just explore the map, bundle up, and enjoy the lights.
