Today, we spent the afternoon at Lowe's Christmas Market at the Distillery District in Toronto! It's basically a street market with stalls selling traditional european products (local and handcrafted) as well as specialty beer, bakery treats, and a variety of food (including traditional oktoberfest sausages, hot chocolate, pretzels, baked goods, french canadian poutine, etc). There was also a big Christmas tree set up next to a stage with carollers singing every hour.
At first, we strolled through the market and looked around (it wasn't as big as I hoped it would be, so in that respect, I was a little disappointed), then listened to a few songs the carollers were singing. We were verry hungry as it was lunch time, and couldn't find a proper restaurant (which served something other than paninis, pasta or grills which seemed to be all there was there), so we ended up getting some Poutine from one of the stalls; it was sooo good! After that, we visited one of the stalls selling european baked goods, where we sampled some fruit cake :) At the end of our visit, we stopped by the Balzac café and drank some yummy hot chocolate!
As promised, here are the photos of the traditional european style market and decorations around the distillery district. Also, you can check out a few videos of the christmas market here, which I will be uploading on my youtube page.
More pics to come of Balzac's Café and the Christmas Cake we bought :)
