Christmas Lighting in Penetanguishene.

Christmas lights, the Penetanguishene way

Penetang is one of Ontario’s oldest towns, and it shows in the rooflines: heritage homes on the Main Street hill with the gables, porches, and decorative trim a custom-cut design was made for — and that store-bought strands never flatter. Down at the harbour and the marina blocks, water-facing homes light up twice, for the street and for Georgian Bay. Century homes and steep older rooflines are exactly the work you don’t want to be doing off a ladder in a Georgian Bay December.

Penetang tip: prime install dates fill by early November, and returning clients get the 20% Early Elf discount for October installs. Lights can go up early and stay dark until you’re ready.

What it costs and what’s included

$8 per linear foot, all-inclusive — design, commercial-grade LEDs custom-cut to your home (you never buy anything), installation, free 48-hour in-season maintenance under our No-Lights-Out Guarantee, takedown after the season, and storage at our shop until next year. Most Penetanguishene homes land between $800 and $3,500, with the average around $1,500. And 5% of every install goes to The Lighthouse in Orillia.

Where we hang in Penetanguishene

The Main Street hill and downtown, the harbour front, and out toward Wyevale and Lafontaine — plus neighbouring Midland, Tiny, and Victoria Harbour.
