You’ve never celebrated the holidays like this before! Village Noël Témiskaming is a vibrant festive experience inspired by New France, and it’s truly one of a kind.

This whimsical village in Temiskaming Shores promises to be “eventful, dynamic, musical, and imbued with the joy of living,” according to its website.

It’s the most festive French-Canadian experience you’ll ever attend!

You’ll feel like you’ve been whisked back in time to the 16th century as costumed performers sing, dance, and play music in the traditional style of New France.

Over 10,000 visitors descend on the village for the festival and there will also be 1,500 students participating in period games such as axe throwing and log sawing.

Pick up fresh goods at the on-site farmers market and indulge in delicious eats from one of the many food vendors, including Beavertails!

And of course, it wouldn’t be a holiday experience without decorated kiosks where you can shop for beautiful handmade items.

So, get ready because you’re in for a big dose of Christmas cheer.
