Halloween is barely in the rear-view mirror, but Toronto’s gearheads are already getting into the Christmas spirit! East-end car club SecretMeets is kicking off the holiday season with its first Christmas Lights Car Meet of the year. Expect everything from twinkling headlights to rolling Christmas trees as decorated cars gather tonight (Saturday, November 14, 2026) at 7:00 p.m. at the Ashbridges Bay boat launch in the Beaches.

At 9:00 p.m., the spectacle hits the streets! A convoy of Christmas cars will leave the Beaches and cruise through downtown Toronto, spreading holiday cheer one horsepower at a time. Expected stops include the Distillery District, Yonge-Dundas Square, Nathan Phillips Square and Exhibition Place. Photographers and drone videographers will be on-hand to capture the glowing convoy as Toronto gets its first rolling Christmas light show of the season.

Ashbridges Bay is just south of Lake Shore Boulevard East, near Woodbine Avenue. If you’re not familiar with the Beaches, punch this address into your GPS and follow the Christmas lights:

20 Ashbridges Bay Park Rd, Toronto, ON

SO, WHAT’S ALLOWED?
– vehicles with Christmas lights
– vehicles with Christmas decorations
– highly modified vehicles

AND WHAT’S NOT ALLOWED?
– no ‘stock’ cars in the display area
– no cars without lights or decorations in the convoy
– no ‘takeover’ behaviour (burnouts, 2-step)

Forget the sleigh and reindeer! This Saturday night, Christmas comes to Toronto on four wheels.

Whether you’ve decorated your ride with 1,000 twinkling LED lights or just want to enjoy the spectacle, head down to Ashbridges Bay and join the festivities. Bring your camera, dress warm, and get ready for a Christmas light show that doesn’t stand still!
