Christmas Magic transforms the town into a twinkle-lit wonderland, complete with holiday activities, outdoor skating, festive treats, and just enough snow to make everything look like a movie set. We bundle up, grab a hot chocolate, and stroll through the lights like we’re living our own Hallmark moment. It’s easy to see why this has become a beloved holiday tradition — and a must-visit experience for anyone looking to capture the spirit of the season. GET THE INSIDE SCOOP Want to experience Cobourg like a local? We asked three of our team members to share their hidden gems, and must-do activities around town. THE BEST HIDDEN GEM Everyone talks about the beach, but the boardwalk is where locals go to clear their heads. It’s perfect for a quick stroll to get your steps in — or a longer walk to unwind after a busy day. Peaceful, scenic, and — bonus — usually quiet. You’ll spot birds, feel the lake breeze, and pass the occasional local walking their dog like they own the place (because, technically, they do).

After Hurricane Irma swept away their St. Martin restaurant, seasoned restaurateurs Mike and Teresa set their sights on Cobourg, drawn by the town’s charm and close-knit community. With decades of experience and a passion for hospitality, they opened Cucina Urbana, a vibrant eatery where authentic Italian flavours take centre stage. At the heart of the kitchen is Executive Chef Ryan Ortiz, whose journey from a Niagara Falls apprenticeship to Toronto’s high-energy culinary scene has shaped a menu that’s both refined and comforting. Every dish, from silky handmade pasta to perfectly charred Neapolitan-style pizza, is crafted with care, fresh ingredients, and a deep respect for tradition. Cucina Urbana is the kind of place where the wine flows freely, the food is made to be shared, and every visit feels like a celebration. Whether you’re grabbing a casual bite, toasting a special occasion, or indulging in a slow, wine-filled evening, this is Cobourg’s answer to dining like an Italian — no passport required. cucinaurbana.ca 905-377-9100 20 EXPERIENCECOBOURG.CA ׉ 7cassandra://uDBNksuWprHT46HyKqwEomFxiDmge0raCsBzB7Hq5t4.`̹h]myQq;׉E[WHERE LOCAL HEART MEETS GLOBAL FLAVOUR Greg and Amanda da Silva traded Toronto’s hustle for Northumberland’s charm, bringing their passion for food, community, and good times with them. The EL is more than just a place to eat — it’s a gathering spot where familiar comforts and worldly flavours come together. The menu is inspired by their travels but rooted in local love, featuring everything from perfectly grilled burgers to unexpected dishes bursting with international flair. Whether you’re sipping on a handcrafted cocktail, sampling a craft beer, or lingering over a glass of wine from far-off vineyards, every bite and sip feels like part of a story — one that Greg and Amanda have crafted with care. But there’s more to The EL than just great food. Fans of Ginny & Georgia might recognize it as The Blue Farm Cafe, the meeting spot where characters work, eat, and catch up in the hit Netflix series. While the cameras have stopped rolling, the inviting atmosphere remains. With curated art on the walls, swankyyet-comfy furniture, and the warm hum of conversation (or live music on select nights), The EL embodies everything Greg and Amanda set out to create: a space where great food, great people, and great memories come together. theelcobourg.com 289-252-2282 The EL featured in Ginny & Georgia as the Blue Farm Cafe 21 YOUR STORY BEGINS HERE ׉ 7cassandra://oXC_ks7jpLjLvsMq54DgofOgVKIWizccToqnK20fbFg/`̹h]myQq;h]myQq;8בCט 8u׉׉ 7cassandra://vXBy8AH1q_bTRi-o4lUsbetMEAsZkjpQCXiQoHGsA7gܾ`׉ 7cassandra://Ez7Dq81-F_4ZZu4LH3AnbTFfmYrpiA7qbNnEC9S3XUkVU`[׉ 7cassandra://CYJ79aJxYupPRsxgY6PnigvPgXTPF5izBR0-_N9pZTkA`̹h]myQq<ט  8u׉׉ 7cassandra://0D9keUNmbYA87XQho14oJuPDQk36-iHTwQkEahy_Zj0`׉ 7cassandra://dgaUox_CjTBVZ1UBZPa876fIrbzSmdxXGzRo6aDzypo͝ `[׉ 7cassandra://De9ArezQy0-VL1LcVzRL77B1lgdFYGZ1SbVhtr8u2qk6g`̹h]myQq<נh]myQq<ׁ-9׉Hhttps://www.downtowncobourg.ca/Gׁ ׁ rנh]myQq<؁%i̶9׉Hhttp://jimspizzacobourg.comGׁ ׁ rנh]myQq<ف5ہ9׉Hhttp://sprucewoodbakery.com%20Gׁ ׁ rנh]myQq<ځ%:[9׉Hhttp://pinkcafe.caGׁ ׁ rנh]myQq<ہU̥9׉Hhttp://craftfoodhouse.comGׁ ׁ rנh]myQq<܁%̔9׉H$http://instagram.com/hunterholydoughGׁ ׁ rנh]myQq<݁Yw9׉Hhttp://yorkies-bbq.caGׁ ׁ rנh]myQq<ށ)r9׉H http://facebook.com/cobourgsushiGׁ ׁ rנh]myQq<߁4+9׉Hhttp://mercurychocolates.comGׁ ׁ rנh]myQq<%̈9׉Hhttp://prepfoodco.comGׁ ׁ rנh]myQq<s9׉Hhttp://arthurspub.caGׁ ׁ rנh]myQq<s9ׁHhttp://arthurspub.caׁ ׁ Јנh]myQq<%̄9ׁHhttp://prepfoodco.comׁ ׁ Јנh]myQq<409ׁHhttp://mercurychocolates.comׁ ׁ Јנh]myQq<^w9ׁHhttp://yorkies-bbq.caׁ ׁ Јנh]myQq<U̥ 9ׁHhttp://craftfoodhouse.comׁ ׁ Јנh]myQq<%?[9ׁHhttp://pinkcafe.caׁ ׁ Јנh]myQq<59ׁHhttp://sprucewoodbakery.comׁ ׁ Јנh]myQq<%o̶9ׁHhttp://jimspizzacobourg.comׁ ׁ Ј׉EIt’s Better Downtown Treat yourself Catch a show or performance Grab a bite Get some photos #downtowncobourg Explore the Core Pamper Yourself Shop for something special 8 blocks | 250+ businesses EAT | DRINK | LAUGH | SHOP | ENJOY /downtowncobourg downtowncobourg.ca | 905 269 5019 ׉ 7cassandra://CYJ79aJxYupPRsxgY6PnigvPgXTPF5izBR0-_N9pZTkA`̹h]myQq;׉EaPIZZA JIM’S PIZZA 905-372-6826 jimspizzacobourg.com MUST-TRY COOKIES SPRUCEWOOD HANDMADE COOKIE CO. 905-372-0707 sprucewoodbakery.com BREAKFAST THE PINK CAFE 905-377-9919 pinkcafe.ca SALAD CRAFT FOOD HOUSE 905-377-9177 craftfoodhouse.com BAGEL HUNTER’S HOLY DOUGH 289-252-1054 /hunterholydough FRIES YORKIE’S BBQ + CATERING 905-372-6060 yorkies-bbq.ca SUSHI GOLDEN CHOPSTICKS 905-371-9033 /cobourgsushi GELATO MERCURY CHOCOLATES + GELATERIA 905-396-7758 mercurychocolates.com PATIO PREP FOOD COMPANY 289-372-2263 prepfoodco.com NACHOS ARTHUR’S PUB 905-372-9940 arthurspub.ca 23 YOUR STORY BEGINS HERE ׉ 7cassandra://De9ArezQy0-VL1LcVzRL77B1lgdFYGZ1SbVhtr8u2qk6g`̹h]myQq;h]myQq;8בCט 8u׉׉ 7cassandra://jVoe6OaHH8L-CwSXmYbDOYHGO1ckRs5x-JJdRN3xvUU`׉ 7cassandra://yHMfOxljrg0U8vk1r899b3goI472_uKRxrYA-9lF9JAw`[׉ 7cassandra://pZ2yeeViZIqn4qZEkmNFqUNC1LF2lPq4U04bV8OAMKA,`̹h]myQq<ט  8u׉׉ 7cassandra://hot35EMZfTJep-doAlye3xl2MBpaCdOgRkTmg0TqlyM`׉ 7cassandra://cEZtkcW4joEt8CrYqhQ9ZohQqiSPzG0xXDF5IIrkvWkp>`[׉ 7cassandra://AWBFPlusNXSoghkQGkX_lnElFU1NM2YUBYDTycoS970' `̹h]myQq<נh]myQq<l9׉Hhttps://www.cucinaurbana.ca/Gׁ ׁ rנh]myQq< n9׉Hhttps://tuscanwolfpizzeria.com/Gׁ ׁ rנh]myQq=9ׁHhttp://tuscanwolfpizzeria.comׁ ׁ Ј׉EA place where the ingredients are fresh, the people are friendly and the wine is forever flowing.

The marina is full of sights — boats coming and going, friendly waterfowl, and plenty of photo-worthy views. Bring a picnic and find a cozy spot by the water to refuel. Bonus points if you’ve packed their favourite snacks (because a happy, well-fed kid means a happy outing). WILD AND FREE Got kids who love to explore? Peace Park, just a little beyond the natural stretch of West Beach, is well worth the walk. Let them burn off steam in the open space, climb the playground, spot fish under the bridge, or skip stones along the shore. If the wind’s right, bring a kite for extra fun. All that fresh air might just lead to a peaceful, quiet car ride home. Ice Cream & Sunset No family adventure is complete without a treat. Stop by Harbourlight Delights, Mercury Chocolates & Gelateria, Dairy Dream, or Kawartha Dairy for an ice cream cone (or two), then end the day with a sunset stroll along Cobourg’s stunning waterfront. With Lake Ontario glowing at golden hour, it’s the perfect wrap-up to a day of memory-making — just before the classic “I’m not tired” kicks in. Thrill-seekers, nature lovers, and ice cream chasers alike will find their fun in Cobourg. It’s easy, joyful, and full of moments you’ll want to relive. Just be ready — they’ll probably ask to come back tomorrow. 36 EXPERIENCECOBOURG.CA ׉ 7cassandra://Ab37T8QB-hfdhxQ6ulhJRhE8qWiKRTf8AVMllgAploc(q`̹h]myQq<׉ElKID-APPROVED FUN BOOK STORE READERS’ NOOK A tiny bookstore designed to turn young readers into lifelong book lovers.

In fact, she stumbled into it the same way most of us stumble onto our next big thing, by answering a Facebook post. It was 2021, and someone had shared a listing for a local outdoor screening of Murdoch Mysteries in Cobourg’s Victoria Park. Sarah showed up, grabbed a lawn chair, and left with a new obsession. A few short years later, she’s not just attending the Eye2Eye Film Festival, she’s directing it. Now in her second year at the helm, Sarah has turned a small, scrappy event into a full-blown celebration of cinematic storytelling. She’s upped submissions, brought in a wave of new talent, and made space for everyone, from high school students debuting their first short to industry veterans leading masterclasses. But ask her about the highlight, and she won’t talk about ticket sales or red carpets. “Watching young local filmmakers grow in confidence and skill, honestly, it’s the best part,” she says. For Sarah, Eye2Eye isn’t just about movies. It’s about giving people the chance to see themselves — on screen, behind the camera, in the audience. She’s proof that sometimes, the best stories are the ones that start with “I didn’t expect to be here.” filmaccessnorthumberland.ca 51 YOUR STORY BEGINS HERE ׉ 7cassandra://hXwDg1TcOt4caJjtOWCLF1XRamczumusQFaMgmi6wiQ)`̹h]myQq<<h]myQq<;8בCט 8u׉׉ 7cassandra://PviZ1P2p1LfjtCiodHHkVV37i2YEM00n0CqOuk0vBAgQZ`׉ 7cassandra://-ul1dCQMYLsg8iX59DchIDWTq3h_eoj1xQkMcN-2CZs͖8`[׉ 7cassandra://GXkpkn6gUJrDLfoc_MN8rk9ue1LwcYjTd55O8C2RT7U,`̹h]myQq=ט  8u׉׉ 7cassandra://UYVOwiGE2pb8OhMleyj6j2X9UeqzSPjRIL4yIIXW5QE<_`׉ 7cassandra://_gy1NBAfObbY3tKIF5aOOsZXFWTuTWNWXSSAFQK91Cw͆A`[׉ 7cassandra://yOWmk7kqx0yuCb5kPxw45cWCNipn8uihKFsF9RQC0mU)~`̹h]myQq=נh]myQq=u̻9׉H%http://ontarioparks.ca/park/presquileGׁ ׁ rנh]myQq=vu9׉Hhttp://csheritage.orgGׁ ׁ rנh]myQq=wO9׉H!http://primitivedesignscanada.comGׁ ׁ rנh]myQq=x̃9׉Hhttp://visitporthope.caGׁ ׁ rנh]myQq=y&Ё9׉Hhttps://experiencecobourg.caGׁ ׁ rנh]myQq=zs̿9׉H,http://facebook.com/NawautinNatureSanctuary/Gׁ ׁ rנh]myQq={ZӁ̪9׉H,http://facebook.com/NawautinNatureSanctuary/Gׁ ׁ rנh]myQq=|s`9׉Hhttp://laveanne.caGׁ ׁ rנh]myQq=}sbz9׉Hhttp://thebigapple.caGׁ ׁ rנh]myQq=~s9׉H6http://greatblueresorts.com/resort/golden-beach-resortGׁ ׁ rנh]myQq=Z'9׉H6http://greatblueresorts.com/resort/golden-beach-resortGׁ ׁ rנh]myQq=s9׉Hhttp://dancingbeeequipment.comGׁ ׁ rנh]myQq=s9ׁHhttp://dancingbeeequipment.comׁ ׁ Јנh]myQq=s9ׁH#http://greatblueresorts.com/resort/ׁ ׁ Јנh]myQq=sgz9ׁHhttp://thebigapple.caׁ ׁ Јנh]myQq=s` 9ׁHhttp://laveanne.caׁ ׁ Јנh]myQq=sÁ9ׁHhttp://facebook.com/Nawautinׁ ׁ Ј׉EJUST down the road Cobourg may be the perfect home base, but a little wanderlust goes a long way.
