Uxbridge's Optimist Fantasy of Lights runs nightly from December 5, 2026 to January 2, 2027, from 6 to 9:30 p.m. The organizer confirms both the drive-through route and the Fantasy Trail walking path at Elgin Park.
Admission is free and no advance booking is required. Donations are welcomed at the exit to support local youth initiatives. The display operates on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day as well as the other dates in the published run.
Visitors should enter from Elgin Park Drive. The combination of a confirmed nightly schedule and separate walking option makes this more flexible than a ticketed attraction with reserved entry slots.
