Late Night Shopping & Holiday Tree Lighting set for Thursday, November 27th

The holiday season in Porcupine Plain is underway, following the launch of the Christmas Cash promotion on November 12. Now, the community is preparing for the official kickoff on November 27, when residents will gather for the annual Tree Lighting Ceremony and enjoy Late Night Shopping at participating local businesses. Together, these events mark the full start of the festive season in town.

The Christmas Cash promotion, which began on November 12, encourages residents to shop locally throughout the season.

Families, friends, and neighbours are invited to gather as the community tree is illuminated—an annual moment that fills the town with festive spirit. The ceremony offers a warm, welcoming atmosphere with a bonfire, hot chocolate, and sleigh rides, and the announcement of this year’s Honourary Tree Lighter!

To complement the Tree Lighting, several local businesses will offer extended hours and special promotions, making it easier for residents to shop, dine, and explore before joining the evening’s festivities.

Parkland Co-op is offering in-store deals at all locations, with the Grocery Store staying open until 7:00 PM and the Convenience Store & Home Centre open regular hours until 9:00 PM.

Many local dining spots will remain open to accommodate residents looking for supper or a warm break during their evening out:

Jig’s Corner Stop Café – open until 7:00 PM
Tasty Garden – open until 7:00 PM
Between the Buns – open late!
