Here’s what you need to know about the parade and Light up Brighton:
More than 50 floats will be part of the magic this year.
The parade kicks off at 7 p.m. at the intersection of Alice and Dundas streets. The parade will then make its way up Main Street, turn onto Maplewood Avenue through to Chapel Street, then make a left onto Prince Edward and head down Elizabeth Street before ending at the Dundas Street and Terry Fox Drive intersection.

Check out the Christmas trees and light decorations by local businesses, and the ‘lighting up’ ceremony is set for 6:30 p.m. There will be hot chocolate and treats.
