BEST TIME TO GO
Tuesdays to Thursdays are way less busy than Fridays and the weekends, not to mention have free entrance! If the weekends work best for you we would suggest visiting before 5 pm as that is traditionally the busiest time for the market. We suggest arriving an hour before sunset as this is the time to capture photos of the festive decor.
HOW TO GET THERE
Getting to the Christmas Market can at times be chaotic especially if you choose to drive.
Parking can be limited during this time so we would recommend taking public transit, ride-sharing or walking. Alternatively, if you wish to stay close by and opt in for a nice walk or quick street car ride to the Market then The Pembroke Inn has you covered. With cozy eclectic rooms and an atmosphere that’s beaming with creativity and joy, you’ll be sure to enjoy a good nights rest after a day at Toronto’s Christmas Market.
