The fifth annual Illuminate the Season with ARCH! is around the corner.
This family-friendly event is taking place from Thursday, Nov. 20 until Sunday, Nov. 23 at The Machine Shop.
"This heart-warming, community-driven event is a celebration of local businesses and the incredible people they serve," a news release said.
Each day, you'll experience a vibrant showcase of talent, festive decor, and opportunities to support a cherished local charity.
Illuminate the Season with ARCH promises something special for everyone, including live music, beautifully decorated trees, wreaths, and planters. Our exciting silent auction, presented by SooToday, features generous donations from local businesses.
"We guarantee you’ll be amazed!" the release said.
The event will also feature Santa’s Workshop and Skate with Santa under The Roof, where kids can enjoy delicious hot chocolate and indulge in tasty treats. The event also hosts the Cocoa 5K and Marshmallow Mile, presented by Rogers Media, on Sunday morning. It’s a magical experience for families and people of all ages.
“The ARCH Team is overjoyed to once again kick off the holidays with Illuminate the Season! Each year, this event continues to grow in spirit and sparkle, bringing our community together in such a meaningful way,” the Event Committee said.
“We’re so grateful for our Title Sponsor, GFL Environmental Inc., and our incredible local partners who help create the holiday magic. We’re so excited to celebrate with everyone.”
