By Angie Mindus Cariboo Advisor The Christmas Season is kicking into high gear this weekend with the annual downtown Winter Light Up, Santa Claus Parade and many shopping sales and Christmas markets taking place in and around the lakecity. In the shopping department, the first event of the weekend is Friday night’s Moonlight Magic. This event mimics the U.S.’s Black Friday, which is the signature kick off day for Christmas retail sales coinciding with the American Thanksgiving. Moonlight Magic will see participating retailers in Boitanio Mall, the downtown and Canadian Tire stay open until 11 p.m. with many deals to rival our neighbours to the south. Saturday will be another great day for getting into the Christmas spirit, with everything from a visit from Santa to the annual Medieval Market and Ten Thousand Villages Craft Sale. The Santa Claus Parade will start at the SaveOn Parking Lot at 11:35 a.m. and arrive at the Spirit Square at noon Saturday, where Santa and his friends will be treated to many activities from live music and games to wagon rides, opportunities to have your picture taken with Santa to hamburgers and hot chocolate. And when Santa leaves the city at 5 p.m. he’ll light it up for the season as he goes. Other popular events taking place throughout the weekend include the Medieval Market at Columneetza Senior Secondary, which will open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, the Ten Thousand Villages Craft Sale at Cariboo Bethel Church Thursday through to Saturday, the Cataline Christmas Craft Sale Saturday and Sunday and the Made in the Cariboo Craft Sale at Tourism Discovery Centre Saturday from 10 - 3 p.m. So find some time this week to check out the selections at all our great local stores so you will know what you’re looking for this weekend!
