Farmers’Market!
Vendors, local artists and artisans bringing you
the last of the seasonal harvest, exceptional
meats, preserves and baked goods. It’s the
perfect way to stock your pantry! The market is
located in the public square between the
Tremont and the Collingwood Library, just off
Simcoe Street – both in European style huts
and under the big tent.
IceSculptureCelebration
This year the ice sculptures will celebrate iconic images and significant moments
in Collingwood’s rich history. Adding to the festive atmosphere downtown, the
statues are colourfully lit and history panels next to each carving will share the
story of Collingwood. Ice carving demonstrations by world renowned ice carvers
will take place daily between 1 and 4 pm. in front of the Federal Building.
WinterWonderlandVillage
This year’s village will feature tents, cabins and activities for the whole family.
The highlight will be the daily Battle of the Chainsaws. Watch incredible artists
use their saws to carve statues from blocks of ice, with a few extra twists.
Join us in Downtown Collingwood as it transforms into awintery playground
with dazzling holiday decor and a day filledwith unique signature events.

SantaClausParade -5pm!
This year’s magical theme is ‘Christmas Carols’...
celebrating the music that brings the holiday spirit to
family and friends with decorative floats and music,
highlighting the joys, warmth and magic of celebrating
this special time of the year. Our annual parade makes it
way north along Hurontario Street from Fourth to First
Streets and will finish with the jolly old elf arriving in
his special sleigh... follow behind him as he jingles
along towards the town’s Christmas tree.
ChristmasTreeLighting!
Join Santa after the parade at the Federal Building,
just south of Loblaw Great Food, as we officially
light the town Christmas tree. The evening will end
in a spectacular bang as Fireworks fill the sky
marking the official beginning of the Festive Season
in Downtown Collingwood. The Fireworks display
is presented by PyroWorld and
sponsored by Karen Fritz, Mortgage Broker,
CENTUM Alternative Mortgages Ltd.
