Toronto is lighting up the downtown core for the Christmas season and the Yorkville lights started its annual tradition of a lighting ceremony with fun and dance.
The Bloor-Yorkville Park lit up its trees and giant Christmas tree as part of the Cavalcade of Lights in Toronto. The Cavalcade of Lights is a Toronto initiative that occurs in all parts of the Greater Toronto Area. Yorkville began its celebratory ceremony with music and dancers with acrobatic fire techniques.
Men dressed up as chipmunks and Santa Claus made men, women and children laugh with jokes about Christmas and promising Torontonians snow within the next two weeks and that it hasn’t happened yet because he was on vacation.
In a similar performance to Circus Orange, two female performers danced to the well-known song called “Nara” by E.S. Posthumous, which is also the theme song to the hit crime drama “Cold Case.”
The ladies performed with sticks of fire forcing the audience to be in shock and awe as everyone gathered together to warm each other up. Free small cups of hot chocolate were passed around at the event as visitors were getting ready for the lighting to begin.
Yorkville began its Christmas season as they lit up their lights across the area as well with a performance of dancers with fire.
(I apologize about the blurs but they were dancing so fast.)

Everyone applauded when each tree was lit up, especially the giant tree that stood taller even than the one at
Yonge-Dundas Square, where the “Winter Magic” festivities began last week.
