The holiday season is here! Sparkling lights are popping up, the familiar tunes are playing (that we love or hate), and everyone is getting their cheer on! For the South Georgian Bay area, there is a lot going on. Santa is making appearances and there’s festivals to attend. Or if you’re looking forward to a mug of warm cocoa and a craft to do - keep reading!
First off - Let’s start with Santa Claus events !
  • From December 1-10th, you can write letters to Santa and drop them off at The Blue Mountains Public Library. What’s exciting is that you need to include your address, because you will receive a personal reply from Santa! Of course, Canada Post will help him. But don’t worry if you forget your address- he will write the library to let you know he got your letter. Click here for more details.
  • On December 4,5, and 11,12 Santa will be on his sleigh making appearances all over Stayner! Click here for more info about where to find more. His elves will also be accepting monetary donations to the local food bank.
  • On the 5th, Santa will also be making a COVID safe appearance at Creemore’s historic log cabin from 1-3pm. Feel free to bring those letters to Santa, or perhaps a card to someone dear in a nursing home. More details here.

Now onto the other holiday activities going on…
  • On December 4th, Creemore is hosting a tree stroll. This will include decorative lights, pizza, and hot drinks from local restaurants. There’s also going to be a gift for the kids! It starts at 4pm and ends at 7pm. Click here because families must register to attend and there's specific instructions about where to enter and exit.
  • December 5th is when Business Enterprise Center from Grey County is hosting a student craft show. It’s an excellent place to find a gift and support local youth entrepreneurs.
