Festival and Event Information

Bunny Eggscitement

Bunny Eggscitment is a free family-friendly community event designed to celebrate the arrival of Spring! Families are invited to take part in an egg hunt, enjoy a variety of activities, soak in exciting entertainment and take away a delicious treat to enjoy at home. The event is offered at four community centres across the City during the three weekends leading up to the Bunny’s big day.

Movies Under the Stars

The City of Brampton annually hosts Movies Under the Stars, where outdoor movies are presented free for families to attend in their local parks during the summer season. Food trucks and vendors are also on site.

Canada Day

Brampton’s annual Canada Day event is a celebration that brings residents together to celebrate this national holiday in a fun, engaging and unified way for the community.

Fright Nights

Fright Nights are free, family-oriented events hosted each October to celebrate Halloween. Activities take place at local community facilities including Gore Meadows Community Centre, located in north east Brampton, and Professor’s lake, located in central Brampton.

Pumpkin Party

The Great Pumpkin Party traditionally invites residents to dress in their Halloween costumes one last time and to light up their pumpkins before they are invited to ‘smash’ their pumpkins in the Region of Peel’s compost bin. The event features live performances and Halloween themed activities for all to enjoy.

Winter Lights Festival

Winter Lights Weekend is about celebrating Santa’s arrival to Brampton. The weekend traditionally kicks off by lighting the way for Santa, with Mayor and Members of Council at the annual Tree Lighting ceremony. The 60ft. spruce tree is decorated with over 10,000 Christmas lights lit up at Ken Whillans Square. Residents are invited to take part in free family fun activities, start their holiday shopping by visiting the unique vendors at the weekend long Christmas Market and walk through Gage Park to see its light displays.
