Biggest Christmas at the Forum yet being held this weekend

HALIFAX — The 38th annual Christmas at the Forum is being held this weekend.

The show opened Friday with a 9% increase in sales. Christmas at the Forum is the longest running and best attended festival of arts, crafts, antiques, arts and food of it’s kind.

Many consider Christmas at the Forum to be the unofficial kickoff to the holiday shopping season in our region.

Despite being around since 1978, organizers say the show continues to get bigger and better, attracting thousands of people each and every year.

“This is the most we’ve ever had, we have over 300 vendors,” said Chris Banks, owner, Christmas at the Forum. “In fact, it’s the first time we’ve had to grow inside of the civic area.”

Christmas at the Forum continues Sunday from 10 a.m. Until 5 p.m.
