Looking ahead - to December 2024
It may be summer but we're planning ahead - to the busy month of December! Please have a quick read of what's coming up.
Jingle Into Christmas
It's been the kick-off to the festive season for years now. Mark the date for Friday, December 6, 2024. This event listing is live.
Tofino Hot Cocoa Trail
For the inaugural Hot Cocoa Trail in 2023, over 12 Tofino businesses had a hot cocoa beverage on offer throughout December. This is part of Tofino Winter Nights, described in the next section.
People found the trail on social media and through advertising on a variety of channels, leading to a dedicated page on our website showing hot cocoa drinks with a photo (provided by participating businesses) and description. This is an extra "thing to do" throughout a month that typically sees a dip, then a surge in visitors, while many local residents travel.
We heard the positive feedback (chocolate is a mood booster, after all) and this is happening again in 2024, for the whole month of December. If you have a food and beverage business or a coffee bar, please let us know if you're planning on participating this year by clicking here.

Tofino Winter Nights
This series of events takes place throughout December, and includes the Hot Cocoa Trail. The idea behind this is to brighten up those darker December nights with fun events that build community yet welcome visitors.
The calendar is being built for this now, and includes everything from breakfast events to markets, live music and more. If you are planning - or are intending to plan - a December event, please reach out to
