Get your holiday season off to a great start with excellent food, unique shopping and loads of fun at The Millarville Christmas Market, November 11th, 12th and 13th, 2011.
Located at the Millarville Racetrack, this fantastic, three day Christmas Market is one of the largest crafts and artisan shows in Alberta and is best known for its wide variety of one-of-a-kind art, craft and holiday decorations. Check our local vendors for glass, pottery, wood turning and carving, soaps, lotions, paintings, drawings, photography, watercolours, leathers, candles, weaving, books, knitting, jewelry, sewing, kids clothing, metal creations, wreaths, winter planters, local charities, dog treats, coats, scarves and journals.
Food artisans have been cooking up a storm to have your favourite holiday treats ready for entertaining, including traditional pies, jams, jellies, pickles, honey, candies, fudges, fruit cakes, festive breads, dips, artisan cheeses, fruit wines and mead, specialty teas, locally roasted coffees, soups, herbs and spices, gluten free products, maple syrup, all made from Polish, Italian, Ukrainian, German, Hungarian, South American, Indian and other points of view. This market is the only place to buy Alberta Whisky Cake and Traditional English mince pies. Many of your favourite summertime Millarville Farmers' Market vendors will be attending, allowing you to stock up for the fall on locally grown meat, vegetables and home-baked breads. The always delicious and eclectic Three Point Kitchen will be serving drinks, snacks and a special seasonal menu.
Join us for a lovely Friday evening with shopping and a memorable light show and our fantastic decorations, then settle in around our bonfire. We'll be serving hot chocolate and other warm drinks as well as roasting chestnuts and serving smores by a warm firepit.
You'll also enjoy the free hay rides, Santa's workshop generously sponsored by the Prairie Sky Resource Centre (BFI Canada) and other family activities including wandering carollers. We may surprise you with a visit from some reindeer as well.
