  • Last year I froze my butt off down at the Distillery and saw nothing and ate nothing memorable. Hopefully they'll step up their game in 2011, but frankly I think it's a poor location for an outdoor winter market, because of the proximity to the water and the degree of wind between the buildings. I found myself going indoors just to warm up to braving the cold again. My partner liked his glühwein mulled wine, but we had to be penned into a little play area for anyone with alcohol while he consumed it. I thought it was totally disgusting, but I don't like sugary wine. Luckily there was a fire to keep our front side warm while our asses froze to metal chairs. The booze playpen law has been lifted so that you can now walk and drink, supposedly. Maybe that will make this market more interesting? I didn't make off with any special gifts or memories and could barely get into the shopping mentality in the unbearable cold. There weren't many vendors, especially when compared to outdoor markets and fests they have during the summer in The Distillery. It wasn't at all like markets I've been to in Europe where they are overflowing with interesting crafts and goods. It was a lot of pre-packaged junk. There was a Sinterklaas. Okay, it was just a Santa, but thankfully no sign of Zwarte Piet(Europeans never got the memo about white people in blackface). I was bored out of my mind by a polka band with dancers on the stage that people were gathered around to watch. I admit that it was nice-looking at night with all the lights but I really came to shop and buy interesting things, but I left empty-handed and that was the biggest disappointment. They needed better venders. Maybe they should consider relocating this market to some place with a bit of shelter from the elements like the Brickworks or the Bahamas? Also, what's up the sudden corporate sponsorship in only its second year? That was a fast sell out! Did I mention that parking was a total nightmare? And I came by streetcar, so that should speak volumes!
