One of the great things about living in the GTA has to be all the fun and neat things to do and see all year round. Although the idea of hibernating during the cold winter months is tempting, there are so many fun activities, festivals and events which will have you out of the house and breathing that fresh Canadian air.
This weekend we went exploring the historic Distillery District. It was once the site of Gooderham and Worts Distillery which began operations in the mid-1800s and closed in the early 1990s. Presently, many of the Victorian buildings have been beautifully restored and now house trendy galleries, cafes, restaurants, jewelry shops and even a preforming arts theatre. During the month of December, the Distillery District transforms into a romantic European Christmas market where one can enjoy mulled wine, hot apple cider and indulge in many tasty treats.
What makes this market so fun and unique is it really sums up Toronto for me--a mix of the old and new--embracing different cultures and making it a part of our own. Here you find a combination of traditional Christmas staples like live Christmas carolers, beautifully decorated trees, European food staples and contemporary art pushing your minds boundries and introducing you to new ways to see the world.
