Welcome winter village style at Cookstown’s annual Light Up Night, Saturday November 30. Special events start at 4pm on Queen Street. Visit the shops in historic downtown Cookstown for holiday gifts, beautiful decor and festive treats. Enjoy the sweet sounds of strolling carollers and meet Ebenezer Scrooge and his sidekicks from South Simcoe Theatre. You might even bump into our Victorian Santa and Mrs. Claus! Don’t forget your letter to Santa- his mailbox is at the Cookstown Chamber Office at 19 Queen. Halliday House & Co at 9 Queen is hosting the 3rd Annual 6x6 by Cookstown exhibition of tiny local art. At 6pm the Town Crier will call everyone to 4 Queen St. for the official tree lighting. Step into the Masonic Hall next door for the Rainbow Girls (Junior Shriners) Cookie Round Bake Sake. At 6:30 it’s the Santa Claus parade, starting from Home Hardware at the west end of town, east along Queen to the Cookstown Library. Queen St, (Hwy 89) will be closed to traffic for the parade. Follow the parade to the library for hot chocolate and a seasonal singalong. Special this year, the Cookstown & District Chamber of Commerce and Cookstown Library are presenting a free family film, My Dad Is Scrooge, at 2pm at the library, 20 Church St. Filmed locally, you’ll recognize Cookstown’s St. Mary’s Church (formerly Countryside United) and inside South Simcoe Theatre. You might spot some familiar faces as several locals joined the cast as “extras”. Keith Cooper of Innisfil who wrote the screenplay will be in attendance for a Q&A after the film. Free popcorn!

Light Up Night is the night that we all get together and light up the Christmas tree on Queen Street in Cookstown. After that there is carolling and all the shops are open late. Bring the kids to see Santa Claus as he will be there before his appearance in our Light Up Night parade. The parade will have an assortment of floats all lit up and will proceed down Queen Street. Come and get into the holiday spirit with our Light Up Night.
