Kingsville bustling with holiday activities

KINGSVILLE – Residents and visitors to Kingsville can look forward to some fun Christmas activities on Saturday, December 11.

Unfortunately, due to the new Windsor-Essex County Health Unit’s recent letter of instruction limiting indoor gatherings, the crafts and photos with Santa at Lakeside Pavilion has been postponed.

Toys for Tots – Fill A Fire Truck is happening from 9 a.m.-2 p.m. Kids can also visit with Santa from 10 a.m.-12 noon. Drop off your unwrapped donated toys in their original package. Please don’t include stuffed animals due to COVID and allergies.

Donations are being given to Leamington and area Toys for Tots to provide toys to the less fortunate children in the area at Christmas.

Help decorate the Christmas tree between 2-4 p.m. at the Carnegie Arts and Visitor Centre on Division St., but make sure you are social distancing. You can also leave your decorations at the Carnegie Centre and they will be placed on the tree on your behalf. Kingsville Fire and Rescue will be there with their trusty ladder to help reach the top half of the wildlife tree. Bring animal friendly ornaments if possible.

Hop on the Kingsville Express Train from 5-8 p.m. every Friday, Saturday and Sunday until January 4. Circle around the upper bowl of Lakeside Park to see the magnificent Fantasy of Lights display while sipping hot chocolate. Pay the conductor $2 per person or $5 per family of four. Children under age 2 ride free.

On December 11, train rides are free, courtesy of Migration Hall.
