The Milton Downtown Business Improvement Area has partnered with The Tiger Jeet Singh Foundation to host the 15th Annual Miracle On Main Street on Saturday December 9th from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. -- and Milton Historical Society's Annual ChristmasFest Extravaganza will be there to help both organizations, as well. The Society's ChristmasFest Extravaganza will operate from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. from the Waldie Blacksmith Shop at its 16 James Street location, affording Miltonians the opportunity to watch blacksmiths in action at the Shop's two forges, offering deals on its books of local history, unique Society Christmas gifts and vintage curiosities, and selling 2024 MHS memberships and gift certificates for blacksmith classes. Like the Waldie Blacksmith Shop, admission to the Miracle On Main is free. However, Miracle On Main organizers would appreciate the donation of a new unwrapped toy upon entry to its festivities, which include free amusement rides, food and drinks, stage performances, a petting zoo, pony rides and Christmas gift oriented vendors. For further information, please call (905) 875-4156 or email HistoryMilton@gmail.com
