Make Government House Part of Your Family’s Christmas Tradition
The ninth annual Old-fashioned Victorian Christmas will be held at Government House, 4607 Dewdney Avenue, on Friday, December 14 from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. Everyone is welcome at this free family event that features an outdoor light display, a carol sing-along, craft-making and a very special appearance from the North Pole’s most famous resident. Guests can partake in a Christmas-themed scavenger hunt through the Amédée Forget Museum and have a free family photo taken.
“Old-fashioned Victorian Christmas offers something for everyone,” Minister Responsible for the Provincial Capital Commission Ken Cheveldayoff said. “From the opportunity to see Regina’s best holiday decorations, to partaking in fun family activities and a visit from Santa Claus himself, this event is not to be missed.”
Admission to Old-fashioned Victorian Christmas is free, but visitors are encouraged to bring a non-perishable food item for donation to the Regina Food Bank. There are things to see and do both indoors and out, so remember to dress for the weather. Government House hosts a variety of events and activities throughout the year, and is open for tours Tuesday-Sunday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
