Following the Cavalcade of Lights, the square will also be the home of the second annual Fair in the Square presented by Epilepsy Toronto, this year’s Fair will be running from December 1 to 23, combining the charm and elegance of a Christmas market with the excitement and allure of a dazzling winter carnival right in the heart of the city.
