More than fifty artisans, food producers and local groups fill the Centre multifonctionnel Guy-Dupré for La Prairie’s Marché de Noël, with stalls inside and out, roaming entertainers and marshmallows to roast all weekend.
Kids can meet Santa and take home a free book while quantities last, wave to the mascot Baladin, hear the Christmas choir outside, and join the Lutins coquins elf contest in the outdoor area.
Parent tip: Saturday has the most going on, with Santa in two time slots and three outdoor choir sets at 11 am, 1 pm and 2:30 pm, so plan around those.

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.
