Minto’s Magical Holiday Towns experiences return in November
MINTO – The Town of Minto is bringing back Minto’s Magical Holiday Towns, a series of festive experiences celebrating the holiday season in Minto’s communities.

This experience connects holiday events; a Bright Lights & Festive Nights holiday light trail in Palmerston; special shopping promotions, photo ops across Harriston, Clifford and Palmerston; and contests totaling over $1,800 in prizes.
“The holiday season is such a great time to get out and really explore what Minto has to offer,” states marketing and community development coordinator Erin Raftis in a press release.
“There’s so much going on in the communities, some great special offers at the businesses, so you can really get in the festive spirit.”
This year’s signature events will include the annual Light up the Park event on Nov. 13 and the Kris Kringle Market on Nov. 19 in Palmerston, Candy Canes & Cocktails on Nov. 27 in Harriston and Christmas in the Village on Nov. 28 in Clifford.
