The Victorian Christmas Market takes over Queen Street in downtown Charlottetown for the opening weekend of the Charlottetown Christmas Festival, running Friday evening through Sunday afternoon.
It lines up with the city’s biggest holiday weekend: the candlelight carol promenade to the tree lighting passes right through the market on Friday, and the Christmas Parade comes downtown on Saturday evening.
Parent tip: Go Saturday afternoon, browse the stalls, then walk a few blocks to Grafton or Fitzroy Street to claim a curb spot before the 5 pm parade.

Santa rides into the capital on the last Saturday of November, with the parade starting at the UPEI entrance and travelling down University Avenue and Great George Street to Grafton, Pownal and Fitzroy Streets.
Volunteers collect letters to Santa and non-perishable food along the route, and a sensory-friendly viewing zone on Fitzroy Street between Pownal and Rochford has no sirens, flashing lights or loud music.
Parent tip: Have the kids’ letters to Santa sealed and ready, and avoid parking on the route, since cars left there after 3 pm can be ticketed and towed.

A story for the drive home
A morning with Santa or an evening of holiday stories tends to end the same way: tired kids, a long drive and one more book before bed. Our picture book follows Rally the corgi on his first train ride to see his grand-paw-rents, and every page is painted by hand. If your family is spending December missing someone, it was written for that too. For the car, print our free corgi and train coloring pages.
A bedtime story after seeing SantaRally Takes the Train is a five-minute rhyming picture book about a corgi’s first ride on a California train, hand-painted in watercolor. $16.99 on Amazon, ages 0 to 8.
