Kick-start your Christmas shopping and enjoy seasonally themed events, activities and treats!

 

This year's Christmas Shopping Trail extends from Bayfield to St. Joseph to Grand Bend to Forest!  

 

More than 39 participating merchants along the Highway 21 corridor known for the unusual, unique and hard-to-find gifts will have special items and deals to help you get a start on your Christmas list. Figure out who's been naughty and nice, check your list twice, and head out to our friendly retailers early so you don't miss out on the best items and deals.

 

Look to re-charge at local restaurants and accommodation providers, who'll also be offering Christmas Comes Early deals too.
