Lights, music, trees, wreaths… the holiday magic is transforming the ByWard Market into a place of wonder and awe. Fairy lights are taking over the streets, garlands are popping up on every corner, and festive décor is quietly sneaking its way into view. Join us on George Street Plaza for the official kickoff of the season featuring our tree lighting ceremony of the ByWard Market.
