Ontario has a twinkling holiday market inside an old Kellogg factory

Get excited, Ontario. The Merry Market is returning for another season of holiday cheer!

Later this month, a beautifully restored historic factory will transform into a twinkling wonderland.

At this sprawling market, you’ll find all kinds of unique locally-made products that make perfect holiday gifts.

This year, The Merry Market won’t be charging an admission fee, so you can enjoy the festive atmosphere for free and support local makers while you’re at it.

On the opening night of the market, a 35-foot Christmas tree will be illuminated in the atrium, along with a live performance and a very special surprise guest.

In years past, the event has featured warm and tasty bevies for sale that you can sip on while you wander.

The market is also known for its magical photo ops, including ice sculptures, a big red phone booth, and the tree decked out with Kellogg cereal-inspired ornaments.
