What is the Tofino Hot Cocoa Trail?
A seasonal tasting trail throughout Tofino, where businesses offer their own creative twist on a winter classic. Just like last year, we’re excited to be using Bandwango to gamify the trail: participants can check in at locations, collect points, and win prizes for enjoying multiple hot cocoas. This fun, interactive element is designed to encourage people to visit a variety of businesses, driving engagement.
What is Tofino Winter Nights?
This event (also in its third year) is a tribute to Tofino Winter Lights at the former Tofino Botanical Gardens. Tofino Winter Nights is a calendar of existing and new events throughout December, starting with Jingle Into Christmas on November 28th. This also includes the Tofino Hot Cocoa Trail.
This year, we’d love to bring the festive spirit early!
As the days grow shorter and colder, we invite businesses to help spread cheer with warm, inviting touches like lights, ornaments, and seasonal décor. Let cozy season begin!
