No car needed!

Lead Writer, Travel

You don't need a car in order to enjoy some Christmas cheer. This bus trip from Toronto will whisk you away to an enchanting holiday village and festive market.

Tour bus agency Parkbus is hosting a trip to the beautiful Village of St. Jacobs on December 7, 2024.

The trip departs at 8 a.m. and features several destinations where you can enjoy the outdoors and magic of the holiday season.

The first stop is a scenic hike to the iconic Kissing Bridge, which is the last remaining covered bridge in Ontario. You can snap some Insta-worthy photos and enjoy the charm of this old-world landmark.

Next, you'll head to the St. Jacobs Farmers' Market — the largest year-round indoor/outdoor farmers’ market in Canada. The venue is decked out in holiday splendour and is brimming with local vendors, festive gifts, drool-worthy food and more.

You'll also have a chance to check out the picturesque Village of St. Jacobs where you'll find streets lined with cozy shops and cafes.

It's a magical spot to get some Christmas shopping done and enjoy a warm beverage.

You'll want to pack some lunch, snacks, water and hiking shoes for the trip.
