Sticking to free festivities this holiday season doesn’t make you a scrooge. There’s plenty of merry to be had at any of these no-cost Christmas events happing in Toronto this December.
On Friday, December 1st, the CBC broadcasting centre will be filled with holiday cheer for their annual Sounds of the Season event. Come down and watch the broadcasting of your favourite CBC programs. Visitors are asked to bring non-perishable food items, to donate online or by phone. A one-of-a-kind silent auction will also be held. The Sounds of the Season is a proud supporter of food banks across Ontario.
Free (and less crowded) on weekdays, attractions at this European-inspired market at the Distillery include daily caroling and sing-alongs with Santa’s elves, a ferris wheel, Santa’s village, holiday gift booths, and piping hot snacks, including hot chocolate, schnitzel, waffles, roasted chestnuts and more. Bonus: Parents will love the mulled wine.
