Tips & Advice
- Arrive early to secure a good viewing spot for the tree lighting and to enjoy the carriage rides before they become too busy.
- Dress warmly in layers, as the event takes place outdoors in December, and bring your own reusable mug if you'd like to enjoy the hot chocolate.
- Check the Downtown Fergus BIA social media pages closer to the date for any potential updates or special announcements regarding the event schedule.
- Consider exploring the 'Late Night Sip & Shop' offerings at local businesses before or after the tree lighting for a complete festive evening.
- Bring a small donation for Santa if you wish, as he often collects for local charities during his visits.
