You can take a stroll through the Corridor of trees and there will be a special visit from the Grinch and Gingerbread Man as well. If you need to get any Christmas Shopping done be sure to check out the Painted Door on Main Street before hand and pop into Chartier across the road for the best Poutine and fresh baked pastries.
