Port Perry & Bright All Season Long

Cue the lights!

Experience a Port Perry and Bright holiday season across Downtown Port Perry. Take in the holiday lights, shop wish list worthy gifts, and take in a horse drawn carriage ride around the historic downtown and past the picturesque waterfront.

During the winter, Downtown Port Perry illuminates and welcomes visitors to enjoy the magic that locals get to discover everyday. Downtown Port Perry is a special place to many and the holidays are no exception. Shop owners festively dress up their shops and window displays, a horse drawn carriage can be seen carrying happy families down the mainstreet, and Santa starts making appearances at his hut.

The Scugog Chamber of Commerce kicked off the holiday season with the return of the Scugog Tree Lighting Celebration followed by the Port Perry Santa Claus Parade the following weekend. Both events are truly beloved by locals and visitors alike.

The Port Perry BIA will be continuing the tradition of providing free horse drawn carriage rides on Saturdays and Sundays in Decemeber. The holidays wouldn’t be complete without a horse-drawn carriage ride around Downtown Port Perry. The charming atmosphere, historic architecture, and beautiful view of the waterfront create a magical experience that cannot be replicated.

Local youth can also say hi to Santa, share gift requests, and get a photo to cherish for years to come. Santa visits are for everyone, don’t let age hold you back. Grab some friends and grab a photo for the ‘gram.

This holiday season will be as special as ever in Downtown Port Perry. If you are looking for the perfect gift or even a basket full of local goodies, make the trip down to experience the magic and check off everyone on your list.

Happy Holidays from the Port Perry BIA!
