Ontario Kids Family Events North of Toronto for November 23-25

Events and activities for kids and families North in Ontario this weekend are pretty much all about the holidays. Families can head to 'city sidewalks' and watch Santa Claus Parades, Ceremonial Holiday Tree Lightings and Festivals of Lights. Holiday shopping continues with many annual traditional holiday themed arts and crafts shows, one-a-kind-shows and unique artisan shows and sales. Who doesn't love a hand made toy for Christmas!
