The CandyTown Cocktail Tour will take place in Yaletown this weekend
Nothing says it’s the holidays quite like a festive-themed cocktail, so it’s a good thing we’ve got plenty of options for Christmasy sips this season.
One more booze-fueled festive activity to add to your calendar this December is the CandyTown Self-Guided Cocktail Tour, part of Yaletown’s tenth annual The Best of CandyTown winter festival.

Happening this coming weekend on December 3 and 4, CandyTown is a free outdoor festival that will see the historic neighbourhood of Yaletown transformed into a winter wonderland, complete with performers, carriage rides, and a Gift Market highlighting dozens of local vendors.
As for the part we’re most excited about, a self-guided cocktail tour will have several local bars and restaurants feature a special festive cocktail, just for the occasion.
