The free event is one of Toronto's largest sustainable winter markets, and you can find a variety of local, vintage, and handmade goods inside the historic brick factory.
Aside from shopping, there will be tasty dishes to enjoy such as samosas, dumplings, and gluten-free treats. You can warm up with a cup of hot chocolate and sip warm and cold ciders from Brickworks Cider.
The outdoor skating rink, which claims to be one of the most picturesque in the city, is a magical place to glide around. The icy trail winds through a frosty winter garden beneath the exposed beams of the brick factory. Skating is free if you bring your own, and rentals are available onsite. The rink is open weather-permitting.
After skating, you can cozy up by the fire to warm your toes. Other activities include yoga classes and a winter wonderland hike. In the evening, you can relax in the lounge with food and cocktails, and enjoy skating to DJ tunes on the rink.
A full list of activities is available on the website, and if you're looking for a fun winter activity, this twinkly market is worth keeping in mind.
