Shopping
Gateway to LOCAL SHOPPING!
The recent extreme weather event has severely affected the holiday shopping season for our local Gravenhurst merchants. We may still be dealing with unpredictable winter weather, but if you can safely visit your favourite local business, do it now!
Find that perfect gift, treat yourself, and don’t forget to stop and refuel at one of our delish cafes or restaurants.
Not sure what to give as a gift? Consider booking tickets for a cool local experience like a show at the Opera House or a visit to the Muskoka Discovery Centre. Gravenhurst Dollars also make a great (and easy!) gift. It works just like a gift card and helps support our local Gravenhurst businesses.
Follow us on social for our 12 DAYS OF LOCAL SHOPPING with tips and ideas to make your holiday shopping a breeze!
