Although festivals are wonderful and almost always worth the logistical challenges, it’s good to be aware of road closures so you can plan ahead.

Although festivals are wonderful and almost always worth the logistical challenges, it’s good to be aware of road closures so you can plan ahead.

This weekend, Brampton will be home to three major holiday events (haven’t the holidays snuck up on us so quickly?!) – the Christmas tree lighting, the Christmas market and the Santa Claus Parade in downtown Brampton.

While that’s all good news, there are some things to keep in mind.

You should know that several road closures will be in effect throughout the weekend that might make travelling through downtown Brampton more of a mission than usual.
