CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS AT SUGAR HOUSE ISLAND
This December, Sugar House Island bursts into colour with a Christmas as vibrant as its history. Once home to pioneering textile dyeing and printing, and later the birthplace of fluorescent paints, the Island’s heritage of colour and creativity inspires this year’s festivities.
Christmas in Colour brings the community together for a season of creativity, connection, and celebration. Whether you’re into crafting, dancing, stretching, or just savouring the festive spirit, there’s something for everyone.
So, gather your friends, family, or neighbours, and join us as we paint Sugar House Island with the joy of Christmas in Colour.
