Now in its 24th year, Sainte-Marie’s First Light is an award-winning, must-see holiday event with a great lineup of family activities and live musical performances, all amidst the spectacular glow of thousands of candles.
Candlelit paths will guide you throughout the historic site and up to Martyrs’ Shrine, welcoming visitors every night of the event.
Explore our vendor fair to get a head start on your holiday shopping, enjoy take-home crafts and historical demonstrations, and wander through candlelit historical buildings and pathways dressed in beautiful seasonal greenery. Then warm up with a hot cup of cocoa by the fire!
There’s a reason this event is an annual tradition for many. Come and experience a little holiday magic!
