Welcome, fellow explorers, to the enchanting world of Shine Bright Mission – a dazzling celebration that turns Downtown Mission (and beyond) into a vibrant tapestry of lights, flavors, and community spirit.
On from March 1st - 31st 2024!
What is Shine Bright Mission?
Shine Bright Mission is a month-long celebration that illuminates the heart of Mission into a display of colours and community. While the grandeur of our inaugural event may not be repeated this year, we've crafted an experience that we think is quite magical and immersive with another year of putting the gorgeous Shine Bright Mission lights up in Downtown Mission and having participating businesses offer special offerings like new and fun menu items for a limited time!
Self-Guided Walking Tour: Explore the Community through Lights!
Embark on a journey of discovery with our self-guided walking tour, showcasing the lights of Shine Bright Mission along 1st avenue in Downtown Mission. Grab your Shine Bright lights map that includes descriptions of each light and their significance from the Mission Visitor Centre, at one of the participating businesses, or simply following the link here. This tour allows you to meander through the illuminated streets at your own pace, taking in the magical atmosphere that's unique to Shine Bright Mission.
