The Father Christmas Festival<br />
November 27—December 6, 2015<br />
Enjoy the warmth and hospitality of Mahone Bay’s 11th Annual Father Christmas<br />
Festival. The festival reminds us of days gone by and truly captures the spirit of<br />
Christmas. The festival officially opens Friday night with the annual tree-lighting<br />
ceremony at the town bandstand. Bring your lanterns and enjoy our beloved<br />
bell-ringers and carolers as Father Christmas joins in the fun and leads everyone<br />
to the Mahone Bay Centre for hot cocoa and music. All at no charge.<br />
