Published December 11, 2019 at 5:29 pm
It’s hard to believe that December–and therefore the holiday season–is in full swing.
At this time of year, many GTA families long to enjoy some truly festive activities outside of their homes and fortunately for those who are looking for something a little different, Woodbine Mohawk Park has some incredible Christmas-themed events on the docket.
On Saturday, December 14 and Saturday, December 21, families from all over the GTA can indulge in very special holiday celebrations at the renowned Campbellville, Ontario-based racetrack and recreational facility that’s been hosting pulse-pounding horse races since 1963.
For two days only, Woodbine Mohawk Park is inviting people of all ages to experience the thrill of live, world-class harness racing and an assortment of fun and exciting winter activities.
On both days, the activities–some of which are completely free to enjoy–will begin at 6:00 pm and end at 10:00 pm. Families can also take the time to check out the regular horse races, as Saturday night live racing starts at 7:10 pm.
Parking is free for all guests.
