Spruce Meadows International Christmas Market.

Great place to get into the Christmas spirit. So many vendors will take you a few hours to see them all.
You will definitely find your one of a kind gift.
Vendors range from artsy glassware, clay, jewelry, as well as toys for the young kids or the big kids too. Before I forget to say good quality clothing and footwear. This is only the tip of the iceberg. Through out the ground there are many food venders with delicious food.
You can take the kids and go down to Reindeer Alley to visit Santa's reindeer. Yes, live reindeer and yes Rudolph is there!!!! Photos with Santa's reindeer is available for a cost.
Starting at 11 am there is live entertainment.
In every building we were in there are puppets that come alive and sing Christmas songs this happens at certain times.
The only recommendation is get there early.
