Weekend itineraries: are you ready for the holidays?

Head out to the southern part of Strathcona County this weekend to celebrate Christmas in the Country. Click the link below to find the self-guided map to the nine participating locations – and don’t miss out on the fireworks at the end! You’ll want to stop by each market to pick up everything from centerpieces to ornaments. Bring the kids, as you might just run into Santa along the way!  

Looking for gifts for the upcoming holidays? JACEK Chocolate Couture's Holiday Collection dropped last month and is full of delicious treats like peppermint mocha, crème brulee, and others! Psst.. if you’re looking for gifts that you keep to yourself, we also support that decision 😉. Head over to their location on Kaska Road this weekend or shop online.

Cold weather has to arrive at some point, right? The warmer temperatures mean that you still have time to get into a new hobby – knitting! Statement Junkie Yarn Co. is a great spot to pick up the supplies you need for a nice thick sweater or scarf, or to check out other hobbies like crochet, macrame, or felting. Head over to their location to find a wide variety of colours and materials for any project you’re working on.
