Banner for the 2024 Festival of Lights and Trees at the Capitol Theatre

The 28th Annual Festival of Lights and Trees

November 22 - December 22, 2024

The Festival of Lights and Trees illuminates Northumberland County’s holiday spirit like nothing else. Since its inception in 1997, this annual fundraising initiative has been a community favourite, creating memories and becoming a holiday tradition for guests of all ages, all while raising essential operating funds for the Capitol Theatre.

From November 22 to December 22, enjoy a winter wonderland of holiday themed wreaths and Christmas trees decorated by local businesses and community organisations, and enter to win the decorations by participating in the theatre’s popular yearly raffle. Festival viewing will be available before every panto performance and admission is free of charge.

Help our volunteers help those in need.

Again this season our Volunteers are delighted to use their concessions gratuities to make a donation to the food bank. Please help our community by bringing a non-perishable food item to add to the Fare Share Food Bank Tree.

Thank you in advance for helping Fare Share provide food security to those in need.
