Amherstburg’s award-winning River Lights Winter Festival kicks off with a tree lighting ceremony and fireworks on Saturday, Nov. 20th, and will be followed a week later by the annual Santa Claus Parade, which will roll down Sandwich Street to Richmond Street as it has in prior years.

Thousands of lights will brighten downtown Amherstburg this winter as part of the annual River Lights Festival, allowing residents, tourists and young families the opportunity to take festive walks while adhering to physical distancing protocols.
