With the last two of our holiday seasons spent cooped up in our houses with our pajamas, there has never been a better opportunity to reunite with friends and family (safely, of course)! From sipping candy-cane hot chocolate to that amazing family dinner, the holidays are a great time to rest and recharge from the stress of everyday life. Here are some fun activities happening in Downsview this holiday season.
Christmas on High Street is one of many events taking place in the village. This merry event runs on December 4, 11, 18, 22, and 23 from 12 PM to 3 PM. Families can explore the village's main street and celebrate the holidays the old-fashioned way with cozy bonfires, Victorian dances and an appearance from Santa Claus and his elves! A new and sold-out event this year is the Christmas High Street by Night, where the festivities of this event can be enjoyed in the evening!
Satisfy your craving for a holiday dinner with Pioneer Villages’ Christmas Dinner! This delicious event runs on December 4, 11, and 18 from 3:30 to 7 PM, making it the perfect meal after a long walk through the village. Come and enjoy a scrumptious meal, surrounded by merry music in the village’s Canada West room.
If you’re looking to enjoy a delicious meal at home with your family and friends, then Fresh City Farms’ Holiday Feast might be just what you’re looking for! Fresh City Farms is offering two feasts. One of the delicious meals is Christmas-themed and will be delivered from December 22 to December 24. Pre-ordering for this feast begins on December 1st. Fresh City Farms’ second feast is catered towards New Years and will be delivered from December 30 to December 31. Pre-ordering for this unforgettable feast starts December 6.
This is just a few of the many amazing events happening in the community. From self-guided and guided tours to Storytimes with Santa, the ways to enjoy the Downsview community with your loved ones are endless.
From the Downsview Advocate family to yours, happy holidays!
