What to see at the Toronto Christmas market

The Distillery Winter Village enters its 17th season, after years under the name Toronto Christmas Market. The seasonal cabins of Canadian merchants set up among the district’s 90 permanent shops, restaurants and cafés, along Trinity Street. The Christmas tree, which the organiser presents as Canada’s most iconic, the countdown clock and the immersive Nutcracker set the scene. The organiser expects more than a million visitors over the season.

How to get to the Distillery Winter Village

The village fills the Distillery Historic District, around Trinity Street, at 55 Mill Street, east of Parliament Street and south of Front Street East. Union Station is a short walk away, and the 504A King streetcar stops at Distillery Loop, on Cherry Street. From Europe, flights to Toronto are worth comparing between airlines.

In Quebec, the Montreal Christmas market and the Quebec City German Christmas market open in the same weeks. The continent’s other markets are on our page of Christmas markets in North America.
