This is the also the night for the first lighting of the humongous and official Toronto Christmas tree, DJ skating parties and entertainment from Illuminair.

The light rain is supposed to end around 8pm and the temperatures above freezing are welcome from previous years. Actually it never really stopped raining - darn you weather person. One difference for 2018 is that they have closed off the elevated walkway.
