Starlight Shopping in Elora




It is that time of year again. When the beautiful village of Elora is decorated in all of her Christmas finery, and the town is aglow with the magic of the season.
There is no better time to visit Elora, than during the holidays. The beauty of the architecture, and the charm of a small town are the perfect place to go for all of your unique and special holiday memories.

On Thursday, November 23rd & Friday November 24th, we invite you to get a jump on your holiday shopping, by joining us in our annual tradition of "Starlight Shopping Nights". This annual event has been a big hit with locals and visitors, alike for several years.
The shops of Elora will have specials, discounts, and fun promotions that you won't want to miss. There will be Christmas treats, hot chocolate, cider, and much more.

There will also be a visit from Jack Frost & his frost fairies as they skirt around town looking for great deals, and fun photo opportunities with the visitors.

Elora is a great place to get those unique, and one of a kind gifts that you won't find at the big box stores, or shopping malls.

Bring the family to Elora for Starlight shopping, and find the gifts you will really love to give this holiday season.

Elora is Under Construction

We are still open for Business.

As the Village of Elora continues to make preparations in anticipation of the reopening of the Historic Elora Mill Inn, there are many changes coming to town.
Elora is under construction in order to provide more shops, stores, and attractions, as well as improve roads, parking, and much more. Currently the Main Street in Elora - MILL ST, is under construction.

There are many fences, trucks, and workers and they are definitely blocking Mill Street West in Elora. While vehicles cannot drive down the street, there is still plenty of space available for people to walk down the side walks.

All of the shops, stores, and restaurants in Elora are still open for business to serve you.
Do not let the big red fences stop you from coming to Elora for a visit with the family, and take in the beauty of our quaint little town. Enjoy all that Elora has to offer, enjoy the great unique shopping, enjoy a meal at one of our many fine restaurants, enjoy an adult beverage at one of our great pubs, and stop in to your favourite Sweet Shop for a little something to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Come on Down and #VISITELORA.
