The Distillery Winter Village is Toronto's most magical holiday shopping and dining experience. And now ranked among the world’s best outdoor holiday markets!

In addition to the year round 65+ local shops, restaurants, galleries and cafés, expect to find additional vendor cabins offering uniquely curated seasonal items and gifts.

The Distillery Historic District has always been a dining destination for foodies and The Distillery Winter Village will not disappoint. In addition to our year-round restaurants and heated patios, this year we have 20 exciting food cabins offering a wide variety of flavours and experiences.

We are also thrilled to be partnering with Parfums Christian Dior who collaboratively decorated our beautiful centerpiece Christmas tree in Trinity Square.

This year's 51-foot-tall white spruce Christmas tree features 70,000 twinkling lights, 400 custom midnight blue ornaments, 1,700 shiny and matte gold balls, and 1,000 custom DIOR star charms.

There will be 10 draws per week.

(NEW THIS YEAR): Christmas Carol Sing-a-long - Look out for the Candy Cane Carolers leading sing-a-longs of your favourite holiday songs, everyday in front of the projection wall on the Spirit of York building on Trinity Street. Sing-a-longs are taking place Tuesday - Sunday 6:30 PM and 8:30 PM, and additional times Saturday and Sunday at 3:00 PM and 5:00 PM. On until December 23.

Don’t forget to take photos with our giant 7-foot snow people and 11-feet tall LED stars, cozy up on Santa's sleigh, and take a selfie with Santa and his Elves as they stroll the cobblestone streets.
