Yorkville to kick off holiday season with tree lighting ceremony next month

Toronto’s Yorkville Village will be transformed into a winter wonderland this November, as the neighbourhood will be kicking off the season with its annual Holiday Magic celebration.

You can get into holiday spirit starting November 18, as you check out the lighting of village’s Christmas tree and enjoy a free performance from Canadian Juno Award singer Keshia Chante.

The event will also feature complimentary chocolates from Lindt, hot beverages
from Starbucks, glittering lights and festive decorations and plenty of Christmas cheer.

Following the Holiday Magic kickoff, there will also be seasonal events happening in the Bloor-Yorkville neighbourhood all through the holiday season, including traditional Christmas carolers on Friday and Saturdays in December and the annual 12 Trees of Christmas at the Gardiner Museum.

If you’re doing some holiday shopping in the area, make sure to check out the holiday window displays and the festive decor along the tree-lined streets.
