We are on the cusp of a new year as old man 2021 is about to become baby 2022 and Toronto is ready to celebrate New Year's Eve pre-recorded performances and live fireworks along the Lakeshore. The show will be broadcast on the City's YouTube channel starting at 10:30pm on December 31, 2021.
The evening will be in celebration of the fight against Covid-19 and honouring frontline workers. Lights will be dimmed at 10pm for the end of the Cavalcade of Lights at City Hall.
Mayor John Tory says; “We have worked with Toronto Public Health to plan a safe New Year's Eve celebration for our city. This year's livestream show and fireworks will celebrate the progress we have made as a city confronting the COVID-19 pandemic and honour our frontline workers, including those working non-stop to help residents get vaccinated. I encourage residents and visitors to log on and join us as we safely ring in the New Year, looking forward to a brighter 2022.”
