Wesbrook Village is inviting kids to name its Christmas tree before the holiday market opens at UBC on Friday, November 20. The child who submits the winning name will switch on the lights in Norman MacKenzie Square.
On opening night, the Mastery School of Music choir will sing at 5 p.m., followed by the tree lighting at 6 p.m.
Now in its third year, the Westbrook Village Holiday Market runs Friday through Sunday until December 20. More than 45 local artisans will take turns in the square over the five weekends, selling handmade gifts, holiday decorations and seasonal treats. Among them are Ollie & Co., Standout Boutique, Convivial and Tress Love.
There’s more room to sit and listen to the music this year, with heated seating in the square. Shoppers can stop for a bite at nearby Doughgirls Comfort Kitchen & Bakeshop or a seasonal cocktail at Sports Illustrated Clubhouse. Families can catch Santa on Sundays from 1 to 4 p.m.
The market is at 3378 Wesbrook Mall. On Fridays, hours are 3 to 9 p.m., with live music from 4 to 7 p.m. On Saturdays and Sundays, it runs from noon to 7 p.m., with music from 2 to 5 p.m.
The full market schedule is available from Live at UBC.
