Winter in St. Thomas

We are now in the thick of the cold season (although some may argue you wouldn't know it with the balmy temperatures we've enjoyed)! But things certainly do not come to a halt once the daylight decreases and the snow starts to fall. We've compiled a sampling of what you can to this winter in St. Thomas, with everything from sports to art to wedding planning.

Summer may have come and gone, and so too has the Santa Claus parade and some other festive activities here in St. Thomas... but that doesn't mean there's nothing festive yet to do in the Railway City. In fact, there is so much to do, we decided to compile a handy guide right here for your December in St. Thomas and area!

The St. Thomas Fire Muster Days is a popular Labour Day festival to celebrate fire service workers and build camaraderie among them through competition and other events.

“We look forward to it every year it comes,” said Kim Destun, co-chairwoman of the organizing committee.

The event kicks off Saturday morning with the popular Parade, followed by opening ceremonies, noon at Pinafore. The parade will flow down Talbot to Elgin St., then to Elm St. and out to Pinafore. Opening ceremonies and national anthems follow at noon, and muster competitions begin at 12:30 pm.

"The muster games consist of a bunch of a different skill-based competitions,” Destun said. “But they're just fun, obstacle course-type games is the best way to describe them.”
