Things to do this holiday season in Hamilton, Burlington and Niagara | CBC News

If you’re thinking about heading out for some holiday fun there are lots of events and activities to explore throughout Hamilton and Niagara this year.

When visitors are on site at 1 Hughson Street South, they are asked by the city to please wear a mask, physically distance while waiting in line and do not attend if you are feeling unwell.

It’s the last weekend of Kringle in the Creek artisan market in Stoney Creek, Dec.

Little decorated cabins are set up along the street for shoppers to see what makers are selling at the market, with live music playing each night.

For a fee, skate sharpening and rentals are available on site at 47 Discovery Drive in Hamilton.

If you still need a gift for someone on your list, you might find it at the outdoor holiday market hosted by the Handmade House in Burlington.

Tickets can be purchased in advance online for a guided tour of the property that has been decorated with cedar boughs and dried flowers in mid-19th century style by the Garden Club of Hamilton.

Extended hours for the light displays will be lit up in the park all day and night on Christmas Eve, Christmas day, Othodox Christmas and New Year’s Eve for visitors to take in.

The 13th annual Grimsby “Polar Bear Plunge” is set for New Year’s day at 2 p.m..

While some structures are larger than life, there are lots of interactive elements to walk through for those who decide to walk through on foot.

The fireworks are free to watch and can be seen from many vantage points along the Niagara Parkway and areas surrounding the falls.
