The Distillery Winter Village Shopping Week - January 1 - 7, 2024

Tickets not required

Santa and his elves had to return to the North Pole, but we’re continuing the festive fun into the New Year with The Distillery Winter Village Shopping Week.

This is your last chance to take in the 56-foot-tall, Dior-designed Christmas Tree, and walk the beautifully decorated cobblestone streets under the canopy lights.

Be sure to check out our extended Boxing Week sales at our 85+ year-round retailers, while also shopping the seasonal vendor cabins, open at noon daily.

Come hungry, because we’re still serving up your favourite Distillery Winter Village food – from our 16 permanent restaurants, six cafés and specialty shops; seasonal food cabins; and, 11 outdoor bar experiences. 

Whether you’re looking for an outing to keep the kids busy before they head back to school, or want to check out our many art galleries and catch a live show at one of our theatres, we’ve got you covered.
