Geared towards Oakville seniors who may not have the opportunity to see the holiday lights first-hand, the Town of Oakville and dozens of generous volunteers will host the event, which starts at 6:45 p.m. Eligible Oakville residents can pick up their complimentary tour tickets at any Town of Oakville seniors centre prior to the event. Volunteer off-duty Oakville Transit drivers and limousine drivers from Ward Funeral Home will escort 175 guests to take in thousands of beautiful lights on display throughout town. To ensure a bright and joyful tour, Oakville residents are encouraged to turn on their holiday lights a little earlier to enhance the show. As one of the tour stops, seniors will be greeted at Town Hall for refreshments and entertainment. Tickets are required to participate in the event. They are available at Sir John Colborne Seniors Centre, Oakville Seniors' Centre, Iroquois Ridge Older Adults Centre and Queen Elizabeth Park Older Adult Centre.
