The Pittsford Chamber of Commerce will host its annual Candlelight Night celebration on Tuesday, December 2, from 5:00 to 8:00pm throughout the Village of Pittsford. This beloved family-friendly tradition marks the start of the winter holiday season, with festive activities taking place in the center of the Village, along Schoen Place, and at Northfield Common.
South Main Street will be closed between the Four Corners (Monroe and State Streets) and Church Street to accommodate activities and pedestrian traffic. Church Street will also be closed to allow horse-drawn carriage rides through the Village. Please plan accordingly for traffic delays and road closures starting at 4:00pm.
During the evening, the Village will feature horse-drawn carriage rides, visits from Santa, Mrs. Claus, and The Grinch, and live carolers spreading holiday cheer. Local businesses will welcome visitors with special treats, sales, and festive activities. See event highlights below and find the Candlelight Night 2025 map here.
