Nanaimo Christmas Village Returns at New and Bigger Location
Shop, eat, and spend time with loved ones at the Cavallotti Lodge
Nanaimo, BC – Nanaimo Christmas Village will take place from November 22–24, 2024, at their new and bigger location, the Cavallotti Lodge (2060 E Wellington Rd, Nanaimo). Returning for its 24th year, Nanaimo Christmas Village will kick off the holiday season with more local artisan vendors than ever before, cherished traditional German food, and the opportunity to spend time with family and friends.
Visitors can wander through the market and explore high-quality artisan creations from local vendors. With over 25 unique vendors in a warm indoor setting, the market offers a variety of freshly prepared traditional German dishes, including sausages, potato salad, sauerkraut, pretzels, and more.
“We are particularly excited about our new location,” says Ben Lange, one of the market organizers. “It’s not only bigger but also more accessibly located in central Nanaimo and our team is working hard to make this year more festive than ever.”
The Cavallotti Lodge, located at 2060 E Wellington Road near Bowen Road, will be the new venue for the Nanaimo Christmas Village. The Christmas market was previously hosted at the German Cultural Centre, which has recently been sold to new owners, prompting organizers to seek a new location for the longstanding holiday event.
As in previous years, Nanaimo Christmas Village will once again serve as an official drop-off location for The Great Nanaimo Toy Drive. Instead of an entry fee, visitors are encouraged to bring new, unwrapped toys or make an optional monetary donation at the entrance to support this important cause.
