So, how many parades have you and your family been to so far? :-)
Chances are kids all over Ontario have taken in a Santa Claus parade or two already and there are more in the forecast! Dress warmly, bring or pick up a hot chocolate and enjoy the show. Parades this year seem over the top with theme creativity, new ideas and lots of kids fun and excitement. One parade was even blessed with a float carring the King...Elvis that is!
Family Winter Getaways are also available at affordable rates that include super fun and enriching activitites. Blue Mountain Village has fireworks every Saturday night! Outdoor campfires, crafts and even baking are just some of the types of activities being offered by family friendly accommodations.
Sleigh rides, farmers' markets, holiday shopping, arts, crafts and more are all happening North of Toronto.
