The most wonderful time of the year is coming up quickly! The Distillery Winter Village is kicking off the holiday season with its official tree lighting ceremony, and if you want to be there, it’s time to start planning. The annual event is happening on Thursday, Nov. 13, and will feature some exciting performances, yummy treats, and of course, plenty of holiday cheer.
Known as Canada’s Most Iconic Christmas Tree, the gorgeous structure will be lit at 6 p.m. sharp. Immediately following the lighting, The Tenors will perform for all guests in attendance.
Tickets are $15 to get in, and all ticket profits from the opening night support local charity partners! Don’t forget that you cannot get in without tickets.
Highlights from this year’s Winter Village include 47 vendor cabins and nine outdoor holiday bars — the most there have ever been.
Here are just a few aspects you can get excited about:
Tickets are always required during peak times, which include opening night; Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays after 4 p.m.; Thursdays in December after 4 p.m.; and all day from Dec. 15 to 31, and New Year’s Eve.
Happy holidays, Toronto!
