Shopping
Nanton has become known as THE place to go for cool, funky little shops with great gift ideas: jewelry, art, vintage goodies, books, candles, curios, cards and more. Ditch the big box stores and shop local this year. Park the car and come experience Nanton this holiday season.

Experiencing
Nanton is a place to experience day and night. Come for the day and stay for the evening. You can see the iconic grain elevators lit up or go for a drive around town to see the many businesses and houses decorated with Christmas lights and decorations (it’s a BIG thing here!). And if the night is clear, you’ll be awestruck by the millions of stars above you. Can’t get that in the city.

Eating
Nanton has a variety of eating options from dine in to take out. Check with businesses for their hours and offers as some have extended hours on certain days throughout the holidays.
