Festival Activities

The Fantasy of Lights Festival continues with fun holiday activities from Saturday, November 15, 2025 to the first week of January 2026.


Santa Claus Parade + Fantasy of Lights Opening Ceremonies

Kingsville's Fantasy of Lights will begin on Saturday, November 15, 2025, with the annual Santa Claus Parade at 5:00 pm, followed by the Fantasy of Lights Opening Ceremonies at Lakeside Park. 

 

During the parade, Kingsville firefighters will collect canned goods, dry foods, and monetary donations for the Kingsville Food Bank. 

 

The Kingsville BIA will be hosting their Christmas at the Carnegie event prior to the parade, at the Carnegie Arts and Visitors Centre. 

 

Interested in taking part in the parade? Please contact specialevents@kingsville.ca with any questions.

 Santa Claus Parade Route
 
 Kingsville Express Train Rides

Train rides will run from November 21, 2025 to December 21, 2025 on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings from 5:30 pm to 8:30 pm at Lakeside Park.

Take a ride on the Kingsville Express to tour the light display, and sip hot chocolate. The Kingsville Express is run by volunteers and requires good weather conditions to operate.

To help offset the cost of the event, Kingsville Express train rides cost $2 per person, $5 per family of four, or a donation. 

 

If you are interested in volunteering to run the Kingsville Express Train Ride, please contact us at specialevents@kingsville.ca. It takes a minimum of four people to operate the train and give away hot chocolate.
