Windsor, Ont. -

Downtown Windsor businesses will be showcasing festive window displays to boost holiday cheer.

The Downtown Windsor Business Improvement Association (DWBIA), in partnership with the Province of Ontario and Tourism Windsor Essex Pelee Island (TWEPI), is unveiling the holiday displays.

 

“For many families, visiting these holiday windows have become a new family tradition,” says DWBIA Chair Brian Yeomans. “The storefront canvasses are both a nod and a throwback to Christmases of years past, when families descended upon the downtown to enjoy the holidays, and a promise of a brighter holiday and years ahead.”

Twenty storefront windows, designed and decorated by two beloved local artists, Carlyne Peach and Julia Hall, are intended to be a feast for the imagination, adding to the brilliant holiday ambiance of the core.

 

These living holiday cards, scattered throughout the DWBIA’s boundaries, are sure to attract visitors and inspire family traditions − something many agree is much needed again this year.

Window decorations can be viewed at:
