Get ready to kick off the holiday season in style with the Spring Garden Area Business Association’s annual event, Shopping Under the Stars! Mark your calendars for Friday, December 6, from 5 PM to 9 PM. Whether you’re looking to snag the perfect holiday gift, enjoy some winter activities, or simply take in the magical seasonal atmosphere, this event has something for everyone.
Wander through the beautifully lit streets while sipping on free hot chocolate from our cozy stations out in front of the Mills Building or at the Breeze Booth in Park Lane Mall. It’s the perfect way to stay toasty while you shop, play games or take in the festive atmosphere.

Looking for some entertainment? You’ll find winter carnival games that are perfect for all ages, plus giant photo displays that are just begging for a selfie. And don’t miss out on the delightful sounds of carolers spreading holiday cheer or grooving along with our DJ booths.
If you’re in the mood for some serious shopping, you won’t be disappointed! We have two fantastic holiday markets at Spring Garden Place and Park Lane Mall where you can find unique gifts and goodies. And guess what? Parking is a breeze with free parking available at six parkades nearby! A special thank you to Park Lane Mall, Spring Garden Place, Indigo, Vertu and Dalhousie.

And here’s the cherry on top: Santa himself will be making an appearance! Bring your little ones (or just your inner child) to meet him and snap some festive photos. So grab your friends and family, bundle up, and join us for an unforgettable night of joy and community spirit under the stars!
