7 Ways to Stay Warm in the Soo

When Jack Frost’s nipping at your nose, there are some fantastic ways to keep warm and toasty this winter in Sault Ste. Marie:

Get cozy at Shabby Motley Handcraft

This unique half craft store, half café venue joins together coffee, knitting, delicious lunch options and treats baked with love. The “pro-loitering” environment encourages you to hang out, grab a cup of fair trade organic coffee or tea, and get comfy in this inviting downtown café.

Shabby Motley Handcraft is located at 356 Queen Street East.

Enjoy warmth and wine at Konoba Tapas & Vino

Warmth, wine, music and perhaps a little charcuterie are on the menu at Konoba, a newly opened downtown Mediterranean Café/Bar. This nightlife ‘hotspot’ offers a menu of classic Mediterranean-style share plates and unique selection of wine, local draft and import beer.

Konoba Tapas & Vino is located at 113 Gore Street.

Hop on a sleigh ride at Mockingbird Hill Farm

Take a step back in time with a traditional horse drawn sleigh ride at Mockingbird Hill Farm. Cuddle up with friends and family on a group ride, or canoodling with your special someone on a romantic ride for two. The sleigh ride will whisk you away across scenic trails, forested hills and an enchanting Christmas tree meadow.

Mockingbird Hill Farm is located at 943 Landslide Road.

Enjoy a steam at LIFEforia

What better way to keep warm than a relaxing steam at the luxurious LIFEforia Wellness Club and Retreat? This is the only venue in town where visitors can find a Laconium (Roman Sauna) and Steam Room. While there, you can also indulge in holiday-inspired adult beverages!

LIFEforia is located at 681 Pine Street.

Celebrate the season at Bon Soo

Beginning the first full week every February, Bon Soo is Northern Ontario’s largest winter carnival. Now held at the Machine Shop in the historic Canal District of Sault Ste. Marie, there’s something for everyone — music, dog pull contest, sno-spike volleyball, pancake breakfasts, bonspiels, Bon Tots for kids, Bum Slides, and of course, the famous (and chilly) Polar Bear Swim.
