Children's Holiday Market
2025-11-22 15:00 - 19:00 | Zion Memorial Church, 37 Franklin Street, Carleton Place, Ontario, Canada
The Children’s Holiday Shop is back for its fourth exciting year at Zion Memorial United Church on November 22nd from 3 PM to 7 PM. This beloved community event invites children to bring their holiday shopping lists and get a helping hand from volunteer elves who will assist them in selecting, wrapping, and personalizing their gifts.
This year, we are thrilled to continue our tradition of supporting the Lanark County Food Bank. While there is no cost to participate, we encourage attendees to bring donations of goods or cash to support this vital local resource. Over the past three years, our young shoppers have made a remarkable impact, donating a total of 859 lbs of food and $1259. With your help, we aim to surpass those numbers in 2025, setting a goal of $500 and 500 lbs of food for this event.
Parents are invited to relax in the “Parents Lounge,” where they can enjoy holiday refreshments, listen to music, and socialize while their children shop. It is the perfect way to make the most of the holiday season!
We are incredibly grateful to Zion-Memorial United Church for their ongoing support, and we can’t wait to see the community come together once again.
In preparation for the Children’s Holiday Shop, we will begin accepting donations of new or gently used items for the shop, as well as wrapping paper, tape, and craft supplies starting November 9th.
Please reach out via email (arizaconsulting1@gmail.com) to arrange a pickup or drop off.
Join us for a festive day filled with holiday cheer and community spirit, and don’t forget to stay in town for Winterfest (4pm-8pm)!

A rural Albertan hailing from the foothills of the Rocky Mountains with a long family lineage of ranchers and rodeo people, Lund is about as authentic as they come, and equally as hard to define.
The western Canadian singer-songwriter is an elusive artist — onstage, offstage, and in the studio — seamlessly weaving between the outlaw country, Western, and indie-folk realms with an honest curiosity and rowdy devotion to each. He was raised with the tried and true DIY sentiment of “if you want something done, you gotta do it yourself” launching his career recording in his basement, printing his own shirts, booking his own tours, being his own manager and publicist… whatever it took to get it done. He toured for years with the indie-metal band the smalls, and later turned his sights to writing Western songs, creating a unique and quirky hybrid writing style along the way. He has received multiple domestic and international award nominations and wins. In 2022, Lund won his 14th career Canadian Country Music Award and made his debut at the historic Grand Ole Opry. His album of originals, El Viejo, was released in February 2024.
