The First Ever Town of Erin Winter Fest: Three Nights of Merriment
Bringing Holiday Cheer to the Downtown Core
ERIN, ON: Mark your calendars as the Town of Erin gears up to bring the first ever Winter Festival in downtown Erin. With three separate nights of themed festive fun, there will be something for everyone to enjoy.
The Erin Winter Fest kicks off on November 18 at 6 pm at McMillan Park with the highly anticipated annual tree lighting ceremony. Similar to last year, residents and visitors are encouraged to bring their own ornaments to help decorate one of the trees in the park. Make your mark and be a part of something special (DIY ornaments especially welcome). The Tree Lighting will be followed by Window Wonderland, another popular attraction that showcases a stunning display of holiday lights dressing the windows of the downtown shops.
The second night of the festival, themed Family Favourites, will be held on December 2. Expect to be delighted with beautiful lighting displays that make the perfect photo backdrops for all of those selfies and family portraits to be taken. There will be ponies, cozy corners, food vendors, and plenty of hot chocolate for you to keep warm on a cool December night. Keep an eye out for the big man in red himself – you never know who might attend.
Après Village on December 16 is the third night of Erin Winter Fest and promises to be the perfect date-night-out. After a long day on the imaginary slopes, come down to the core of Erin and huddle up by the warming stations where you can lounge in comfort. Immerse yourself in your own Hallmark Holiday movie with a stroll through a Winter-Fest-wonderland and enjoy the company of your friends, family, or partners.
Each night’s festivities will run from 6 to 9pm, with Main Street being closed (November 18 only) starting from 4 pm. The shops will be ready with this year’s gifts for everyone on your list – the town of Erin is the place to be this season!
