Walkerville Holiday Walk celebrates 25 years of festive cheer

The Walkerville Holiday Walk celebrated 25 years on the weekend.

Historic Walkerville lit up with holiday magic this weekend as the BIA hosted the 25th annual Holiday Walk.

This two-day celebration has become a beloved tradition, drawing visitors from across the region to enjoy the festive atmosphere.

“We had a great night [Friday],” said BIA member Shannon Gilbert. “We went through four jugs of cider.”

Gilbert says hundreds of people dropped by during the first evening.

Visitors enjoyed the many activities available both days, such as photos with Santa, horse-and-carriage rides, holiday market and the charm of the neighbourhood, as they strolled along Wyandotte Street East.

“Never gets old in Walkerville. Some of the younger generation really appreciate the history of the area,” said Gilbert who believes the Walkerville Holiday Walk continues to be one of Windsor’s most anticipated ways to welcome the holidays because of the warmth in the neighbourhood.
