Itinerary for the Foodies
This season can be dangerously delicious for foodies! Bring a friend who appreciates food as much as you do and experience the seasonal tastes of Lanark County. Walk up and down Bridge Street and let the scents of roasted coffee and restaurants pull you in. Purchase locally produced maple syrup, craft beer from our breweries, specialty food products, or gift cards for cafes and restaurants, perfect for anyone on Santa’s nice list.
Itinerary for the Shoppers
Enjoy an afternoon or weekend away, Hallmark style! Call up your friends and make holiday shopping more than just an errand! Our historic downtown shopping & dining district has a variety of retail options, and you can plan your visit during any of our craft fairs and bazaars to find unique treasures. Don’t miss visiting The Real Wool Shop, or booking a well-deserved manicure or pedicure at one of our relaxing local spas. Quant cafes and restaurants await you afterward!
On Thursday, November 27th, December 4th, 11th and 18th, shops and restaurants in Downtown Carleton Place will stay open until 8 pm, creating a relaxed evening experience, perfect for after-work visits, extended shopping, date nights, or a spontaneous day trip.
