winter glow festival sankofa square toronto

Major Toronto destination about to transform into dazzling winter wonderland

Toronto's Sankofa Square is set to host the third annual Winter Glow starting on Dec. 11, transforming the public square into a winter wonderland featuring a holiday market, musical performances, and classic carnival rides.

A highlight this year will be the return of the 45-foot-tall Ferris wheel, as well as the nostalgic Great Canadian Carousel.

The SHEIN Box Santa also makes a comeback this year, giving away over 6,000 free prizes to lucky winners, with the activation taking place from Dec. 11 to 14.

Another festival highlight includes My Pop Choir, a local community-based choir, which will perform on opening night to kick off the celebrations at Sankofa Square.

This winter festival runs from Dec. 11 to Dec. 21—Monday to Friday from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday from 12 p.m. to 10 p.m. Admission is free for everyone, and guests can purchase food and ride tickets on-site or through the event's official website.

Winter Glow will take place at Sankofa Square, located at 1 Dundas St. E.
