Niverville’s second annual Winterfest & Market is well on its way. On Saturday, November 19, families can experience a fun-filled day to get into the winter and Christmas spirit.
The Winterfest Committee, which has been hard at work throughout the year to plan this year’s event, is comprised of four local groups coming together as one—the Niverville Elementary School Parent Advisory Council, the Niverville Chamber of Commerce, Niverville Recreation, and the Niverville Multiplex. This is in addition to an invaluable host of volunteers.
During the day from 10:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m., guests can visit the annual Holiday Shoppes at the Niverville Elementary School. People are encouraged to bring their children to get a $5 digital photo with Santa, enter the Mystery Shoppe raffle, and get a jumpstart on holiday baking at the Sweet Shoppe. Children will join forces with personal elf-shoppers at the Holiday Gift Shoppe for kids-style shopping for the whole family—no adults allowed!
The craft sale and market will be held at the Heritage Centre atrium this year. The market will feature more than 40 vendors and run from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
In the evening, families can head to the Niverville Arena to skate with Santa from 4:30 to 6:00 p.m., then grab a bite to eat in support of the Niverville Multiplex. The $5 combo will include a hot dog, chips, and a drink.
Lastly, the annual Christmas tree lighting will take place in the Niverville Credit Union parking lot. Dress warm, grab a candle, drink a hot chocolate, and belt out a few carols. Free sleigh rides will follow the lighting.
