Article content

The countdown to Christmas has begun and so has the Ottawa Christmas Market, which opened Friday in Aberdeen Plaza in Lansdowne Park.

The market, with its quaint hunts and tinkling lights, runs until Jan. 5 and features more than 50 vendors of crafts and gifts, seasonal food and festive entertainment.

With expanded attractions, including workshops, music and a visit from Santa, the market combines the charm of heritage buildings and wooden chalets with a holiday atmosphere for all ages.

The market is scheduled for Friday-Sun every week until Dec. 22, then again for Dec. 26-31 and Jan. 1-5.

On Saturday, Nov. 23, the Ottawa Christmas Market complemented the 613flea in the Horticulture Building and the Lansdowne Farmers’ Market in the Aberdeen Building, offering a mix of local vendors and festive attractions.
