Winter Guide: A Festive Night Out to Kick Off the Holidays

November 21, 2025

We’re starting the holiday season with a cozy community night in partnership with Waterworks Food Hall and Todotoronto. If you’re looking for something fun to do in December, this event is one of the featured picks from our Winter Guide — a great way to explore the neighbourhood and meet new people as we head into the holidays.

On Friday, December 5, the evening begins at The Deck at Clarence Square at 6 PM with a winter walk and complimentary hot chocolate (first 100 guests). It’s a relaxed way to take in the season, warm up, and connect with others before heading to the next stop.

At 7 PM, the group makes its way to Waterworks Food Hall for games, Latin dance lessons hosted by Todotoronto, glowsticks, and plenty of social moments. Waterworks’ food and drink vendors will be open throughout the night, so you can grab something to eat or settle in with friends. We’ll also have prize giveaways all evening, adding a bit of holiday excitement to the night.
