DOWNTOWN NORTH BAY TO TRANSFORM INTO A FESTIVE HUB IN NOVEMBER

Tourism North Bay, in partnership with the City of North Bay, Downtown North Bay & Waterfront, The Artisans Way, and Creative Industries, is excited to announce the launch of a brand-new outdoor winter market experience that will transform the downtown into a festive hub of holiday cheer. Running on the 4 first Saturdays in November (2, 9, 16, and 23) from 4:00 pm. to 8:00 pm., this new winter experience is a must-visit destination for residents and visitors alike.

Located at the Jack Burrows Parkette (100 Ferguson St) in front of the North Bay Museum in the heart of Downtown North Bay, the market will feature:

·        The Artisans Way, a well-known local handcrafted market showcasing unique, locally made goods perfect for holiday shopping

·        Christmas Mini Train rides on The Amazing Train

·        Screenings of locally filmed Christmas movies

·        Live music and cultural programming

·        Holiday themed light activations

·        Visits from Santa Claus

·        And a variety of other festive activities that capture the spirit of the season.

“The new outdoor winter market experience was designed by local partners in order to enhance the vibrancy of Downtown North Bay and to support local artisans, restaurants and businesses leading up to the busy holiday season,” said Tanya Bédard, Executive Director of Tourism North Bay. 

“By creating a new welcoming and festive atmosphere for all ages, visitors and residents are encouraged to explore the light activations and programming, shop the artisan market, indulge in seasonal treats and take in the festive culture under twinkling lights.”

Along with all the project partners, this initiative is proudly funded by Federal Economic Development Agency for Northern Ontario and Destination Northern Ontario, whose generous support has made it possible to bring this new and exciting event to North Bay for all to enjoy.
