Winter Family Weekends at Harbourfront Centre in Toronto

December 21-22

Part of Winterfest on Toronto’'s Waterfront

TORONTO, ON --– Harbourfront Centre is pleased to partner with the Waterfront BIA to present fun-filled days along Toronto's waterfront.

Sharpen your skates, or rent a pair on-site, and take a whirl around the Natrel Rink. Or get your hands dirty with some hands-on winter crafts in Miss Lou’s Room.

Whatever you’re into, Harbourfront Centre’s got it at Winter Family Weekends as part of Waterfront BIA’s Winterfest on Toronto’s Waterfront continuing on Saturday, Dec. 21 and Sunday, Dec. 22.
