Father Christmas Festival - Enchanted Villages

We recently attended the Father Christmas Festival in Mahone Bay. This is a yearly event that covered two weeks, November 25 to December 4. First, we walked to Suttles & Seawinds where there were festive decorations inside and out, vendors of delectable gourmet products, and the Enchanted Villages.

Upon entering this enchanted world, we were greeted by a gnome who knew my kids names and was quite the conversationalist!

Search among the moss for shy woodland creatures.

For our viewing pleasure, a vast array of quaint villages. The detail and craftsmanship is wonderful.

Many Father Christmas figures were present. This one is lovingly watching over five sleeping little ones.

This one is my favourite - St. Nicholasburg - white lights, drapey fabrics, glitz - absolutely stunning!

If you haven't been to this event, it should definitely be on your "to do" list. Go here for more information. There really is a lot happening. I hope to see you there next year!
