Tips & Advice
- Come to Almonte in the afternoon to beat the rush and do some early Christmas shopping in the downtown shops before the show.
- Book a table ahead if you plan to stay for dinner at one of Almonte's restaurants, so you aren't disappointed on the night.
- Get to Mill Street before the stage show begins, because it starts sharp and the vendors open only a short while before.
