Hey Ex Park - ✨Advent windows are BACK!✨

What are Advent windows? We ask homes to light up a decorated window on an assigned night, and keep it lit until Dec 31. The calendar and locations are posted publicly so people can walk around to see the latest display. This year, in particular, it will be a lovely addition to the darkest month. Because, frankly, most of 2020 has been pretty stinky.

Check out our Advent Window 2020 Walk! Walk it with your family and be sure to check out some amazing Downtown Guelph businesses that have decided to join in the fun! Great windows and even greater customer incentives on their reveal night!

Still want to sign up your window? Use this link -- If you are unable to use this process, pop us a message and we’ll help.) Please forward this message to any neighbours you think might like to join in!

⭐️P.S. - We call it an advent calendar because it’s an easy way for people to immediately understand the fun ‘countdown reveal’ pattern of this collective project, but we have always made it clear that we welcome all holiday traditions and forms of decoration. We’ve had Hanukkah, Solstice, and Kwanzaa windows, and one year had a window devoted entirely to Batman (because, Awesome)! There have been windows with book characters, movie scenes, emojis, light shows, old barbies, paper snowflakes, funny pet photos, images from nature and messages of peace. Anything that sparks joy and prompts a smile is a good theme for a decorated window. Our only ‘rule’ is that you display the number (date) of your first display night so that the whole project ties together with a calendar theme.
