Light Up Riverview

November 21 - January 5
Riverfront Trail at night, softly illuminated by the trees set with multicoloured lights.

Each year thousands of residents and visitors alike come together over hot cocoa and festive carols to light up the Town and make the pines along the Petitcodiac sparkle. Light Up Riverview is a fun-filled destination and tradition that draws family and friends together to celebrate the upcoming holiday season. 

This special celebration also marks the launch of the holiday shopping season where local businesses shine bright! Visit the Riverfront Trail between the Mayor's Light Launch on November 21 and January 5 to take it all in. This is one tradition you won't want to miss. 
A reminder that wet weather can sometimes trip the GFI outlets and cause temporary disruptions with the lights. We appreciate your understanding in advance if issues occur during periods of rain. 

Together, let's lift and brighten spirits across the entire community! Sign up your home for the Merry and Bright Challenge by November 24 to be featured on a digital map! Light Up Riverview display locations are also highlighted on the map.

Share your pictures with us on social media using the hashtag #LightUpRiverview!
