This holiday season, North Bay is transforming its downtown core into a winter wonderland with a brand new experience. The North Bay Outdoor Market promises beautiful lights, festive cheer, and a chance to celebrate the season with family and friends.
The magic happens from 4pm until 8pm on November 2, 9, 16, and 23 at Jack Burrows Parkette, which is located in the heart of downtown North Bay.
“We are very excited that this winter market will bring together family and friends under the twinkling lights of downtown. Everyone is looking forward to taking part in an event that has never happened before,” says Tanya Bédard, Executive Director of Tourism North Bay.
Something for Everyone
The market will be a one-stop shop for all things holiday, featuring The Artisans Way which will showcase an array of local talent. Expect to find handcrafted gifts, unique treasures, and festive décor. It is the perfect opportunity to support local businesses and find one-of-a-kind gifts for your loved ones.
The North Bay Outdoor Market goes beyond just shopping, though. It promises a delightful experience for the whole family with a variety of activities planned throughout the four Saturdays. Each weekend, discover the charming miniature train ride for the kids, a jolly visit from Santa Claus, and holiday film location self-guided tours. The live music performances change each week and are sure to add a touch of magic to the evenings.
“Guests have the opportunity to enjoy some cultural programming elements with francophone musicians, French film screening and special visit from professional stilt walkers on November 23,” says Tanya.
There is still space available for talented artisans and food vendors to share their creations at the market. This is a fantastic opportunity to showcase your work to a wide audience and connect with potential customers during the busy holiday season. Visit The Artisan’s Way for full details.
