So much Christmas cheer in Aylmer
Melissa Gelinas
Between Christmas markets and Santa coming to town, there's something for everyone the end of November in Aylmer. The Old Aylmer Christmas market is a sure-win in the European style of outdoor markets - on November 29, 30 and December 1 as well as the 6, 7 and 8 of December, in Old Aylmer. The Galeries Aylmer is hosting an interior market, as is Nesbitt's Greenhouse, with outdoor options.
Aydelu Center and Knights of Columbus are Christmas shopping locations, as well as the Aylmer Legion and several schools.
For the first time in years, rue Principale will be closed for an event other than Santa's arrival: Friday November 30, the tree-lighting ceremony at 5e Baron attracts thousands, with carolling and market sellers as well. Inside local shops there are wonderful gift ideas, small markets and 'maker' sales. Please see the back of this paper for a comprehensive list.
