From the 26th to the 28th of November, 2015, almost one hundred and fifty artisans, artists, acrobats, cooks, and carollers will transform the sleepy lakeside city of Temiskaming Shores into a Christmas Village filled with music and light. Taking inspiration from the strong francophone culture in the area, the Village Noël will have a New France theme, harkening back to beloved Christmas traditions of community, care, and delight in the unique and hand-made.
Bursting with the best crafts from across the region, astonishing artworks, delicious fresh made treats, and beautiful handmade clothes, the Village Noël is meant to be the perfect weekend outing for families looking for some Christmas inspiration. Wander, eat, enjoy the antics of street performers, and get all your Christmas shopping done a month early.
Browse the works of local potters, sculptors, weavers, jewellers, chocolatiers, distillers, trappers, local producers, soap makers, furriers, cabinet makers and more while snacking on treats by local cooks, playing games, and keeping warm beside several outdoor fireplaces.
