Between all the Christmas markets, winter activities, and pop-up bars to explore this season, we’ve got another event to add to your list that’s sure to spread the holiday spirit.
Opening next week right at Yonge and Dundas Square, a massive Christmas-themed carnival called Winter Glow will make it’s debut in Toronto, featuring rides, treats, games, and more.
If you’ve been reminiscing about late summer days at the Canadian Exhibition, you can at least get your fix of carnival snacks here like cotton candy, popcorn, churros, and candy apples.
Take a ride on the 45-ft-tall Ferris Wheel or Carousel before playing one of the various midway games. There will also be a 40-ft-tall Christmas tree of Remembrance. Visitors can donate in exchange for a yellow ribbon, on which they can write a message to someone who has passed on and then attach it to the tree.
Running from December 14 – December 23, the event put on by a partnership with The Thornton-Smith Corporation, Astro Amusements, and The Rotary Club of Toronto will also be giving back, raising money for local charities.
Admission to Winter Glow is free to the public, though rides and games will require tickets for a fee. These can be purchased in person or on their website.
