Grimsby's holidays start with the flip of a switch. The Town of Grimsby lights its Town Tree, named Hope, outside Grimsby Town Hall at 6 p.m. on Thursday, November 26th, then heads inside for light refreshments and music.
Grimsby's Town Tree has a name, and it's a good one: Hope.
On Thursday, November 26th, 2026, at 6 p.m., the Town of Grimsby kicks off the holidays with the Town Tree Lighting outside Grimsby Town Hall, 160 Livingston Avenue. Watch Hope light up, then head inside Grimsby Town Hall for light refreshments and music.
In the know
The Town Tree Lighting is outdoors on a late November evening, so dress warmly. The Town of Grimsby holds most outdoor events rain or shine, and it posts any cancellation on its website and social media. Questions about accessibility go to the Town of Grimsby's Recreation Services.
