Starting December off right with a Festival!

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our regular in-person Winterfest celebrations have been postponed for the year 2020.

Winterfest is a two day festival held on the first weekend of December.

Join us on Friday evening for "Lighting Up the Trees" at the Court House while enjoying live music, cookies and hot chocolate.

On Saturday, have breakfast and a picture with Santa Claus, before he heads down for the the Santa Claus parade.

Peruse the treasures created and sold by our local crafters, artisans and home-businesses at the Winterfest Craft Fair. Or take advantage of the sponsored Free Swim and Skate!

End your evening at the waterfront with the Christmas Carol Sailpast and beautiful fireworks over the harbour.
