Trip Highlights
Upper Canada Village "Alight At Night" Festival
Touring Upper Canada Village is a magical experience, transporting you back in time to the 1860s. A key part of the experience is the authentic buildings that make up the village, the activities that each housed, and of course, the people who lived there.
Founded in 1961, Upper Canada Village is one of the largest living-history sites in Canada. Here, Featured are over forty historical buildings, many moved here prior to flooding of the “Lost Villages” during the St. Lawrence Seaway development project. These include homes, functioning mills and trades workshops.
During the Alight At Night festival, the entire village is festooned with almost 1 million sparkling lights, making for a truly magical evening. Besides exploring the village, you can also take horse-drawn carriage rides, take holiday keepsake photos at the life-size carousel horses staged especially for picture-taking and when you're cold, warm with up beverages from the various cafes and restaurants dotting the property.
