From festive markets to a Tony award-winning stage production, there’s a variety of events kicking off the first weekend of December. Book lovers can stock up on new literature, meet Canadian authors, and even bring the kids along for story time at the Quebec Book Fair. Celebrating 10 years of the fair, head to Casa D’Italia on Saturday and Sunday to make the most of this event. The Tony award-winning musical “Kimberly Akimbo” is on at the Segal Centre until Dec. 21. It’s being described as a “howlingly funny heartbreaker.” Many theatre fans are anticipating this show, with legendary stage actress Louise Pitre, starring in the production. There will also be an all-star concert for a good cause this weekend. The annual “Andy Kim Christmas concert,” is happening Saturday night at 9:00. This year, pop-star Reve and francophone hitmaker Roch Voisine will take the stage alongside Kim. Fund raised from the show will go towards charity. Get ready for the festival lights at the Hanukkah market this Sunday. Shop for gifts, sample delicious food, and enjoy live music. That’s happening at the Museum of Jewish Montreal. Or head to Dorval Village for their holiday market. From Friday until Dec. 14, shop for artisanal treasures and enjoy seasonal treats that will get you in the festive spirit.
