With over 100 booths to wander and ample sitting areas, you can easily spend a few hours basking in the holiday cheer. Fill your tummy with everything from BBQ skewers to churros and fill your shopping bag with presents for all your loved ones, from handmade toys to chic clothes.
Keep your eyes peeled because Santa is making an appearance every day at the BFC. Look for him under the Christmas tree, at the carousel, near the fountain or at any of the live performances.
