Ring in the Year of the Dragon with Unforgettable Lunar New Year Celebrations at Cadillac Fairview Shopping Centres in the Greater Toronto Area
TORONTO, Jan. 24, 2024 /CNW/ - The Lunar New Year is almost here, and Cadillac Fairview (CF) is ready to celebrate with the return of dazzling decorations, engaging in-person programming and exclusive promotions at three of its shopping centres in the Greater Toronto Area.
With the Year of the Dragon expected to bring power, luck and success, CF is preparing to usher in this prosperous year with enhanced decorations, entertainment, activities, music and promotions at CF Markville, CF Fairview Mall, and CF Toronto Eaton Centre.
