Holiday Fair in the Square is back and bigger than ever.

Running December 1 to 23 in Nathan Phillips Square and located in the heart of downtown, Holiday Fair has festive family fun, and food, for everyone.

Now in its third year, the Fair includes an open-air artisan village with over fifty talented vendors. From unique gifts and special treats, you’ll be able to find something for all of your loved ones… and for yourself.

Visitors can grab something delicious from one of Toronto’s best food trucks, enjoy their snack in the Fireside Lounge or stop by Jackson-Triggs Polar Point, the outdoor bar serving mulled wine and other seasonal favourites.

This year, festival goers can also look forward to the winter midway, live entertainment, and weekends visits from Santa.

Also, the Fair is right next to the Nathan Phillips Square skating rink. So bring your blades.

Holiday Fair brings awareness to Epilepsy Toronto during a time of year where support is needed the most. Epilepsy Toronto provides services such as employment, education and counselling to over 40,000 members across the GTA.

And since ’tis the season, here are some of the delicious eats you’ll find at Holiday Fair in the Square:
