The Wasaga Beach Public Library is transforming into a winter wonderland on Saturday, November 29 from 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM for our beloved Holly Jolly Christmas Fest.

This charming annual tradition gives young participants the chance to secretly shop for a grown-up in their lives, select a heartfelt gift, and wrap it with the help of our merry Library Elves. It’s a precious moment for children to experience the magic of giving — and a lovely surprise for the recipients!

Santa is Coming to the Library!

Be sure to dress in your festive best and have your camera ready — Santa Claus himself will be making an appearance! Families are welcome to take photos and share a warm hello with St. Nick.

Crafts, Treats & Holiday Fun for All

Even if shopping spots fill up — everyone is part of the celebration. We’ll have:

• Holiday crafts
• Seasonal treats
• Interactive activities

If the shopping schedule becomes fully booked, we’ll do our very best to accommodate additional children where possible. No one will be turned away from the fun — they are still absolutely welcome to enjoy the crafts, treats, Santa visit, and full festive experience.
