Pender Harbour WinterfestSaturday, December 20th, 2025 | Millennium Park, Madeira Park
Get ready to bundle up and join us for the 4th annual Pender Harbour Winterfest, a day packed with holiday cheer, festive fun, and community spirit!
This outdoor celebration brings together everything we love about the season: local vendors, live music, delicious food trucks, mulled wine and a cozy bar, games, and of course, Santa’s Workshop full of crafts and activities for kids. Warm up by the bonfire, grab a photo with Santa, and soak in the holiday magic.
The festivities kick off at 3PM, with kids’ activities and seasonal fun running until 7PM. Santa will be arriving around 4PM and will be available for photos at the Pender Harbour Music School.
After dark, the celebration continues with live music from The Hook and drinks at the Net Shed Bar until 9PM, plus holiday singalongs and the much-loved Carol Ships Parade to keep the spirits bright.
