New This Year: Festival of Trees!
Saturday, November 21 | 1 PM – 5 PM | Inside Century Place (199 Front Street)
This year, Enchanted In The District is introducing a brand-new holiday tradition: the Festival of Trees!
For those unfamiliar, a Festival of Trees is a holiday fundraiser where beautifully decorated Christmas trees are put on display for the community to admire, with visitors having the chance to win a tree to take home!
Downtown Belleville businesses will each put their own creative spin on a Christmas tree, transforming the inside of Century Place into a festive display filled with unique decorations and holiday cheer.
Visitors can explore the display and purchase raffle tickets for a chance to win their favourite decorated tree, complete with all its decorations, to take home just in time for Christmas!
Best of all, all proceeds will support the Christmas Sharing Program, helping local families during the holiday season. It’s a wonderful way to celebrate the creativity of our downtown businesses while giving back to the community!
Kringle Krawl Into the Christmas Season!
The holiday fun doesn’t stop after Enchanted In The District!
From November 20 to December 20, explore Downtown Belleville’s Kringle Krawl, featuring festive non-alcoholic drinks created by participating downtown businesses. Discover delicious seasonal flavours while supporting your favourite local spots, stay tuned for all participating businesses and their beverages!
Shop Local This Holiday Season!
While enjoying the festivities, don’t forget to explore the incredible shops, restaurants, and businesses that make Downtown Belleville special. From unique holiday gifts to delicious meals and seasonal specials, there’s no better place to kick off your Christmas shopping!
