Parade of Lights & Tree of Hope
The 1st Saturday of December (December 6, 2025), kicks off the Christmas Season in Mahogany! Santa and Mrs. Claus are able to get away from the North Pole during this busy time to join in the festivities. Residents line the streets to show their holiday cheer for local businesses and community groups that have come together to create floats for Mahogany’s very own parade!
Following the parade, head on over to the Beach Club, grab a hot chocolate and cheer on the lighting of the Tree of Hope! Coloured light bulbs can be purchased ahead of time, with all proceeds going towards the Veterans Association Food Bank.
