Christmas Market 2023

Beach United Church October 24, 2023 2 Comments

Our Christmas Market will be taking place on Saturday, November 25 from 10am to 2pm!

As we have in past years, we will have a variety of local artisans on site, featuring handmade jewellery, baked goods, jellies and jams, knitted toys, and many more festive items perfect for gift-giving.

New this year will be a silent auction for our Gingerbread Houses, created by local neighbourhood partners! If you are a local real estate agent interested in participating and creating a Gingerbread house, please contact Mary Anne at maryanne.alton@sympatico.ca

Big Band Music Night – Thank you!

We want to thank everyone for attending our fantastic Big Band Music Night event with vocalists John Amato & Shannon McDougall, and the Toronto All-Star Big Band! We could not have done it without all of the help from our Beach United and The Beach Cares volunteers, and all of the generous donors and sponsors from the community.

We wanted to share a few highlights from the evening. For additional video clips, please visit our Instagram feed!
