First Night

First Night in Cobourg is a New Year's Eve Tradition

Ring in the new year in Cobourg on Tuesday, December 31, with an evening full of winter fun, music, and fireworks, all free for the whole family.

As the year comes to a close, join friends, family, and neighbours for one of Cobourg’s most beloved winter traditions. The outdoor skating rink will be open under the stars (temperature and weather permitting), the music will be playing, and the holiday lights will make Victoria Park and the waterfront glow with festive charm.

Spend the end of the year scooting across the ice, taking a ride in a horse-drawn wagon, or just enjoying the crisp winter air with good company. There's a lot to enjoy before the big countdown.

First Night is all about community as we celebrate together, outdoors, surrounded by laughter, music, and winter magic. Whether you stay for the whole night or just stop by for the fireworks, it’s a wonderful way to welcome a fresh new year in Cobourg.

Bundle up, bring your friends, and help us count down to 2026!
