Step into a world of twinkling lights and holiday cheer at Uptown Sparkles! This magical, one-night celebration on the first Friday of December brings Uptown Saint John to life with dazzling displays, live music, cozy firepits, and festive surprises around every corner. While most of the activities happen in the evening, some special deals and offers from local shops, restaurants, and galleries start earlier that day.
