"First Light" Celebration at Sainte-Marie Among The Hurons

Now in its 23rd year, Sainte-Marie’s “First Light” is a must-see event as you tour the site amidst the spectacular glow of over 5,000 candles.

The magic begins when you start on the pre-designed route through the site. A beautiful amber glow illuminates the mission, the paths are candle-lit, the French Restaurant on site is filled with the smells of delicious foods and baked goods and the craft vendors on site offer their handmade products for sale. The museum will be open and although not confirmed, we hope that the fireworks display will be back this year.


Note: For those who have done this tour in the past, the Martyr's Shrine across the street is closed and will not be participating in this event.

Sainte-Marie among the Hurons

Picture
Ontario’s first European Community, Sainte-Marie among the Hurons was the headquarters for the French Jesuit Mission to the Huron Wendat people. In 1639, the Jesuits, along with French lay workers, began construction of a fenced community that included barracks, a church, workshops, residences, and a sheltered area for Native visitors. This today is known as Sainte-Marie among the Hurons. ​

Located near Midland in the beautiful Southern Georgian Bay area, this world-renowned reconstruction illustrates the interaction of the French and Wendat nations. Visitors get a unique opportunity to see the earliest Canadian pioneer life. 

French Restaurant

The French Restaurant on site will be open for the duration of the event and will be serving snacks, meals and beverages.
