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.
