Presented by Beach Road Market and Gilford Local Eatery, the Second Annual Gilford Winter Market returns to Innisfil (an hour from Toronto), projecting the vibrancy of European Christmas markets, transforming the Gilford Local Eatery and Lefroy Harbor Resorts Kon Tiki Resort into a winter wonderland on November 23rd from 11:00 am – 6:00 pm.

The merry community event will feature over 60 local vendors from the surrounding communities selling various festive goods and items. Guests will discover a treasure trove of giftable items, including wreaths, ornaments, art, apparel, holiday décor, candles, jewelry, and ceramics, all set against a winter wonderland backdrop.

New to the Market this year, there will be a special activity – a special Story With Santa experience with a signing performance led by vocalist Lana Sings from 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm, complete with candy canes from ‘elf’ helpers at Simcoe Kids Dental. There will also be complimentary cookie decorating for kids, an exciting Viking reenactment battle scene, portrait drawings in the San Diego Homes Tavern, a gift-wrapping table, and an opportunity to explore a Medieval Ale House.

Also, guests can capture the festive moments at the mistletoe photo backdrop and photo vignettes, explore nine curated vendors offering unique ‘mini’ stocking stuffers, and indulge in the season’s flavors with mulled wine and festive Ontario craft beer with the community.

You can also enjoy wine and signature cocktails as you shop and pick up hand-painted Gluhwein keepsake mugs, with all proceeds going to Innisfil Community for Kids. Come celebrate a unique and unforgettable experience that will make you feel like you are in a small-town Hallmark movie. Street Parking is avaiable.

As always, you can keep up with all the fun happenings in Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area on efosa.
