Elora Christmas Market
Your Hassle-Free Journey to Holiday Magic
Hey there, holiday lover! Ready to trade Toronto's bustling streets for twinkling lights, artisan treasures, and that cozy small-town Christmas feeling you've been craving? Let Park Bus whisk you away to Elora Christmas Market—just 90 minutes from the city, but worlds away from the everyday.
Why You'll Love This Trip:
Picture this: You're wandering through a winter wonderland bathed in 88,000 energy-efficient twinkling lights (yes, we counted!), warming your hands around a steaming mug of hot chocolate as you stroll past custom cedar chalets brimming with artisan treasures. The air smells like roasted chestnuts and cinnamon, live carolers are singing your favorite holiday tunes, and you're standing beneath a magnificent 35-foot living Christmas tree that'll make your Instagram followers seriously jealous.
What Makes This Market Special:
Elora isn't just any Christmas market—it's been called "Ontario's Prettiest Village" by none other than A.J. Casson of the Group of Seven. This year, the entire downtown has been transformed into a holiday dreamscape with 150+ decorated Christmas trees dotting the cobblestone streets and historic limestone buildings.
The custom cedar chalet market is packed with local artisan goods you won't find anywhere else: hand-blown glass ornaments created right here in Elora, gourmet treats from local makers, unique boutique fashion pieces, and all the festive comfort food your heart desires. Gather 'round one of the plein-air fire tables with your fellow travelers, Muskoka-style wooden seating keeping you cozy as you swap stories and soak in the atmosphere.
