The Gray's Creek Holiday Sparkle event is a drive-through light and sound experience through beautiful Gray's Creek. The experience will be created by the community, with a team of volunteers leading. Companies, organizations and families can sponsor and decorate a tree or section along the drive in Gray's Creek by visiting our sponsorship page. The event is being created to connect the community safely during the pandemic and to bring joy and wonder to Cornwall and area residents.

For those who are unable to attend the event in-person, there will be a virtual reality experience which will be accessible through the website, beginning in December. 

The Social Development Council’s “experienCity Project” is leading the planning and organization of the event. The event is being put on in partnership with the Raisin Region Conservation Area and Cornwall Tourism. 

The event will run several nights in December, starting December 3rd, between 6:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. The cost is free, however the event will be accepting non-perishable food donations in support of the Agape Centre and monetary donations to support the event and the United Way of SD&G. Tickets will be available in the next couple of weeks via the website, follow the experienCity Project online to stay up to date.

The planning committee is looking for volunteers, equipment, sponsorships (financial and in-kind), and any other help to make this a successful event. You can check out all the details of how you can help, at our website at www.holidaysparkle.ca.
