Niverville to Hold First Winterfest and Market

Share:

Niverville’s Community Christmas Tree Lighting committee is embracing a new concept this year. In past years, the evening event, planned by the Chamber of Commerce, included carols, sleigh rides, hot chocolate, candles, and of course the lighting of the Christmas tree on Main Street. 

This year, the Chamber is reaching out to local organizations to make the event even larger. They are working with Niverville Recreation, the Niverville Elementary School, and the Girl Guides.

Niverville’s first Winterfest and Market will be held on Saturday, November 21, taking place throughout the day and at various locales around town. 

The day will kick off with a market at the high school from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. With 40 vendors selling unique Christmas gifts and products, it will be a great opportunity to get ahead on your Christmas shopping. You’ll find handcrafted jewellery, body creams and lotions, goodies and preserves, hair and nail products, glass art, paintings, clothing, scarves, and lots more.

The elementary school will also host a day’s worth of activities for kids, including 5 holiday-themed shops: Santa’s Photo Shoppe (photos will cost $5), the Holiday Gift Shoppe, the Sweet Shoppe, the Mystery Shoppe (to purchase raffle tickets for gift baskets), and the Elves Work Shoppe. The elves will help kids create crafts, play games, and do face-painting. Running from 10:00 a.m. and wrapping up at 3:00 p.m. 

The day will end at the Niverville Arena, with an opportunity to skate with Santa from 3:45–5:15, and have supper with Santa from 5:00–6:30. The Christmas tree lighting will take place from 6:30–8:00, with carols, sleigh rides, and hot chocolate.

In addition, local businesses are encouraged to run sales or door-crasher offers that day.

Volunteers are needed for the tree lighting event. If you’re interested, contact Dawn Harris at chamber@niverville.com. To volunteer as an elf or Santa’s helper, contact nesparentcouncil@gmail.com.
