The CN Tower’s more than 1,300 LED lights can produce 16.7-million colours and tons of different lighting effects. 

And the fun doesn't stop at the light show, either.

A virtual event called 'From Ontario With Love: A Celebration of Hope' will begin at 10:30 p.m. on December 31.

It will feature music, storytelling, live performances, and even fireworks. Even Mayor John Tory will be joining in on the action.

You'll be able to watch a live stream of the CN Tower display on the City of Toronto's YouTube channel

There's no question about it — this New Year's Eve is bound to be different, but at least you can ring in the New Year in a quintessentially Toronto fashion.
