Top 3 this week
Here are our 3 favourite events happening this week
Grey-Bruce Santa Claus Parades
Fri Nov 28 – Sat Nov 29 · Downtown routes in Paisley, Lucknow, Mildmay, Kincardine, Walkerton, Port Elgin & Markdale
Wave at Santa as he barn-storms seven towns in two nights—each parade packs marching bands, lit-up fire trucks, and enough candy canes to keep dentists busy till spring. Stake out a sidewalk spot early and soak in the small-town magic. Check out our Community Calendar for more info.
Christmas Sale in the Barn with the Alpacas
Sat Nov 29 & Sun Nov 30 · Kickin Back Alpaca Ranch, Markdale
Sip hot cider, browse hand-made gifts, then selfie with a sweater-ready alpaca— all inside a twinkling heritage barn. It’s the coziest place to finish (or start) your shopping list.
Festival of Northern Lights
Nightly Nov 24 – Dec 1 · Downtown Owen Sound & Harrison Park
Stroll a 25-block riverside wonderland glowing with 400,000+ LEDs, animated displays, and hot-chocolate pit-stops. Bonus: it’s 100 % free and dog-friendly—just bundle up and let the lights do the talking.

Full Weekly Calendar
Community Calendar
Our Community Calendar covers Grey & Bruce Counties. It’s a large area, so if we missed an event we are sorry, we will do better next time!
Our Community Calendar was getting a bit too enthusiastic. Turns out stuffing a week’s worth of local fun into one email makes for a very long scroll.
So we’ve given it its own space! Click the button below to check out the full lineup of events this week.
Foodie Flash
Black Widow Bakery
Hanover’s newest micro-bakery is a little noir-themed nook next to the flea market (711 10th Ave) where “every bite spins a new story.”
The daily board flips between scratch soups and hot chicken-salad sammies on house-made croissants, with cheesecake-brownie hybrids skulking in the square lineup for dessert.
Feeling heroic? Snag one of their Too Good To Go “surprise bags” and rescue a mixed haul of baked goods at a steal—5-star fan ratings say the haul is worth the suspense.
In short: big flavour, zero pretence, and a pinch of villain-level indulgence.
Hidden Gem of the week
Secret Lands Farm
Searching for a truly "Ewenique" experience? Head to Secret Lands Farm in Grey Highlands. This family-owned sheep dairy crafts superb, small-batch artisanal cheeses and meats.
It’s more than just a farm store—you can book an on-farm tour to meet the animals and see where your high-quality, hormone-free dairy comes from. If you love local flavour and unique farm adventures, this Grey County treasure is a must-visit!
