Huntsville, Ontario – You are invited to enjoy some festive cheer at Community Living Huntsville’s Holiday Mingle & Market + Art Walk this season.

The free, drop-in celebration happens at Community Living Huntsville’s administrative offices, 99 West Road, Huntsville, Ontario, on Thursday, December 11, 2025, from 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM.

“This event is about more than shopping – it’s an opportunity for people to relax, connect, and celebrate the season together,” says Megan Wilmon, Supervisor of Community Participation for Community Living Huntsville. “We’re excited to welcome everyone to enjoy art, conversation, and a little holiday cheer. Drop in and say, ‘Hello!’”

Guests can enjoy a wine and cheese social designed for mingling and conversation, alongside an artisan market featuring unique, handcrafted gifts from talented local crafters specializing in crochet and knit, sewing, bead crafts, sourdough baking, air-dry clay, henna, digital art, gift cards, and more – perfect for holiday shopping with a personal touch. Please note the artisan market is cash only.

Adding to the experience is a brand-new art installation that transforms the not-for-profit Developmental Services organization’s administrative offices into a warm and welcoming hub of creativity and community. This donated and professionally installed display of more than 40 paintings and prints aims to inspire and spark conversation as guests explore the evening’s offerings.

For those who love the crisp winter air, an outdoor campfire will be waiting – ideal for warming up under the stars and sharing a moment of seasonal cheer.

Whether you’re browsing for gifts, admiring art, or enjoying good company by the fire, the Holiday Mingle & Market + Art Walk is the perfect way to celebrate the season. Everyone welcome.
