The Annual City of Brampton Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony will
take place tonight, November 19, from 6 - 8 pm.

Mayor Susan Fennell will hit the switch, illuminating a 60-foot spruce tree to a dramatic sound and light show to kick off Brampton’s festive season!

The line-up for the evening’s festivities includes special activities for the whole family:
fun and games, food stations, and exciting giveaways. Hydro One Brampton will be
giving out free energy-efficient light bulbs (limit one per person). Children can take the
opportunity to come into City Hall and e-mail a letter to Santa Claus. The Salvation
Army of Brampton will also be bringing the World’s Largest Kettle to the event.
Visitors are encouraged to bring a non-perishable food item and/or a toy to kick off the
food drive and Peel Regional Police’s Toys for Tots campaign.
