The City of St. John’s is encouraging all residents and businesses to light up St. John’s on Thursday, December 3, as the city celebrates the holiday season in a spirit of community togetherness.


Typically at this time of year, the City of St. John’s hosts the annual Festival of Music and Lights with a tree lighting in Bowring Park. Due to COVID-19 precautions, the event - which attracts hundreds of residents - cannot go ahead.


Residents and business owners are asked to join with their neighbours in a countdown and official City lighting at 5:45 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 3. The countdown and lighting will include City parks, buildings and City Hall as well as numerous locations throughout the city, such as:

  • Confederation Building and the Prince Philip Parkway

  • Government House

  • Cabot Tower, Signal Hill National Historic Site

  • MUN Botanical Garden

  • Downtown St. John’s and George Street

“In these challenging times, we all need a little light and celebration,” said Mayor Danny Breen. “Let’s join together as a community of hope and togetherness to make St. John’s shine brightly this holiday season.”
