Toronto Christmas Market 2016
Back in its 7th year, the market is running from November 18 to December 22, 2016, at The Distillery Historic District.
The first time I visited the Christmas market was in 2014. It was free back then but now has a $6 entrance fee during Fridays, starting at 5PM, and Weekends to reduce the mass of crowds.
This is my second visit which I did on a Monday, December 5, 2016, to avoid crowds and the entrance fee, but I didn’t check prior because it turns out they were closed on Mondays.
All the stalls were closed and pushed to the sides, but what’s important is the iconic 52-foot Norway Spruce Christmas tree and all the lighting around The Distillery. I can’t complain much as at least this means not much crowd so it was a great way to take photos.
The air of Christmas is still around because of all the lights and the Christmas tree. There’s also a big lighted sign counting down the number of days until Christmas.
One thing I really enjoyed on my first visit was the Holiday Spirits Square, which had about 4-5 stalls of Liquor brands offering free samples of drinks. They are only open on Fridays and Weekends.
The Toronto Christmas Market has been a holiday tradition for Torontonians every year! As the years past, it just keeps on growing and more people visit.
