The holiday season is officially arriving, and we can’t wait to celebrate with you! We invite our neighbours, families, and visitors to join us in Westboro Village for a festive lineup of community events, holiday charity drives, and special local shopping experiences.
Community Carol Sing & Lighting Ceremony
We are kicking off the holiday festivities at the All Saints Anglican Church courtyard (347 Richmond Rd) with our annual Community Carol Sing & Lighting Ceremony.
Local musician Erin Adair will lead us in singing classic holiday favourites as we illuminate the canopy above the courtyard with twinkling lights. Come warm up with complimentary hot drinks and sweet treats generously provided by our local Westboro Village businesses!
Date: Saturday, November 21st
Time: 4:00 PM – 5:00 PM
Location: All Saints Anglican Church Courtyard (347 Richmond Rd)
Our business community is also coming together on November 25th for a special Customer Appreciation Day to say thank you for supporting local this holiday season! Look forward to special in-store promotions, refreshments, activations, and a chance to win a gift basket curated by our local shops.
Full details, participating businesses, and giveaway information coming soon!
