Experience the Ultimate Holiday Magic at Gift of Lights – Now Bigger Then Ever

Celebrate the most wonderful time of the year with Waterloo Region’s largest and most immersive holiday light festival

This holiday season, Bingemans is excited to unveil an expanded Gift of Lights experience, running from Friday, November 22 to January 4, 2025. With the beloved Jingle Bell Rock elements now seamlessly integrated into the Gift of Lights, attendees will enjoy a single, more spectacular attraction with new enhancements and surprises.

Back for its eighth year, Gift of Lights promises an even more immersive journey through over 2 km of breathtaking light displays. As you drive through the grounds, your favorite holiday tunes, broadcast via FM radio, bring even more joy to the experience. With over a million sparkling lights and 300+ distinct light installations, including two majestic light tunnels over 150 feet long, this drive-thru attraction is a must-see for families, friends, and holiday enthusiasts.

In response to popular demand, Bingemans is increasing the number of walk-only nights, offering guests a chance to stroll through the lights and take in the beauty at their own pace. These exclusive walk-only evenings feature four sponsorship nights, benefiting local partners Family and Children’s Services of the Waterloo Region, Grand River Hospital Foundation, The Food Bank of Waterloo Region, and Kidsability. Additionally, two more general walk nights will be available for families to create unforgettable holiday memories together.

“We’ve listened to our guests and expanded with even more ways to experience the magic of the holidays,” says Michelle Playfair, General Manager of Bingemans. “By incorporating the vibrant elements of Jingle Bell Rock into Gift of Lights and increasing the number of walk-only nights, we’re creating a unique and unforgettable holiday experience for the community.” 

Gift of Lights will run from November 22 through January 4, 2025, offering ample opportunities for families and holiday lovers alike to experience the magic. This year is sure to be busier than ever and for this reason drive thru tickets will only be sold online.
