Christmas party in the park
Three parks in Montreal are being transformed into vacation paradise this December thanks to the Noels Dans Le Parc Festival. From December 1 through Christmas Day, each of the three participating parks will be filled with holiday activities like marshmallow roasting, campfires, gift stands, and of course, Santa Claus sightings. In addition to these fun activities, however, each park will have a small Christmas tree on site in case festival goers feel the urge to buy this year’s Christmas tree on the spot.
