We’re thrilled to announce we are presenting a more traditional Panorama for our 2021 season! We’re excited to welcome guests back into the park to enjoy our Christmas displays and the River of Lights!

IMPORTANT! The festival has been reduced this year due to funding, limited resources and COVID19. We have limited lights and limited displays in the park this year. Please consider making a donation to help us continue this Christmas tradition!

Simcoe Christmas Panorama is FREE for anyone to attend. We are funded by sponsors and donations. You can support Panorama with a donation by CLICKING HERE.

In collaboration with Norfolk County parking is permitted on the streets surrounding the park. This includes Norfolk St N, Colborne St, Windham St., Crescent Blvd, McCall St. and Alligator Lane. 

Please note that Bonnie Drive is closed to vehicles, as is the parking lot for Wellington Park access from Bonnie Drive.  

In a typical year, Panorama spends over $10,000 on lights, and our partners at Norfolk County put in countless hours of work installing displays and lights in the park. The past 2 years, we were not able to host any fundraising events to purchase new lights for the park, and since our friends at Norfolk County are actively working on ongoing current events, they cannot dedicate the same amount of time and man power to the park.

There is one accessible porta potty in the park.

Dogs that are on a leash the entire time are welcomed in the park. We kindly reminded you that it’s required for you to clean up after your dog.
