What can I do during my vacation in Toronto? (sales, 2014)

[dregoinplaces]

I'll be taking a winter vacation in Toronto from Friday December 18- Wednesday December 23. I'll be staying at a hotel Downtown. What are some fun things to do around this time? Are there any winter and holiday festivals? Are there places where I can see Christmas lights? I'm really open to suggestions. I'll be celebrating my 22nd Birthday. I just want to have some fun.

You're going to miss the Cavalcade of Lights on Nov 28th, but try looking here

The Toronto Christmas Market is suppose to be pretty cool.

Toronto Christmas Market* |* Rediscover the Magic & Romance of Christmas

Also check out Toronot.com .. there are lots of theatre shows and concerts with holiday themes during that time frame. Nathan Phillips Square usually have ice skaing and other stuff going on around that time. Most major malls will be back and deck with holiday decor to the max.

Just in case you plan on doing any shopping the week before Christmas pre-boxing day deals start showing up all over the place especially major malls as the fight to get more sales from last minute shoppers. St. Lawerence Market and Kensington Market are also cool places to check out around this time of year. Many City of Toronto Hisortical Sites have holliday event (note likely catered to your age, but you never know).

Good post! I've done the Distillery District but not the Christmas market.. I think this year that'll change

I'm curious about that German Mulled Wine drink...!!

One word...well 3, okay 4....Royal Agriculture Winter Fair. Check out those jugs and nipples being flaunted by those cows,...check out the horsies. Fun at the Exhibition Place does not end in September

Lots of cooking and chef stuff now....they are keeping with the times

Distillery should be good to see xmas trees.depends what you want to do really. If you are looking to meet people King st at night is probably best.
