The Curated Holiday List: 10 Things to Do this Christmas

Date Published

With the Holidays approaching - we want to let you know some of the great things happening this season in our community! Between markets, parades and night time events - there's ton of things to do to get into the spirit of the season!

For years, we’ve used our social channels to champion local events, but we know keeping track of everything happening can feel like a full-time job (and it’s our actual full-time job, so we truly get it).

With the holidays - there's plenty to do, eat and explore across our community. And our website is here to help you find it all in one place, whether you’re a lifelong local or just visiting and looking for your next favourite spot.

So, consider this your sign to swap the pumpkins for trees and make the most of the season.

Here are the 10 things to help you feel the magic (in order of date)✨
